“This support project is estimated to run for three years. The finances for the procurement of medical equipment will be allocated to several healthcare facilities in Kharkiv Oblast: Kharkiv City Polyclinic #10, the hospital of the Main Department of National Police in Kharkiv Oblast, and hospitals in Chuhuiv and Balakliia [towns in Kharkiv Oblast — ed.]. I’m thankful to the government of the Czech Republic for helping Ukraine and significant support of the Kharkiv Oblast. [We’ll be] advancing collaboration further!” said Oleh Syniehubov, the head of Kharkiv RMA.
The Czech Republic has already provided financial support in the past: they bought electric generating units. Now, these supply power to boiler houses that provide heating to 36 multi-story residential apartments, 10 healthcare facility buildings, educational institutions, a children’s development center, and other objects.
