The “Dobrobut” medical network plans to open a clinic in Vinnitsa, a project that was suspended due to the war, said Sergei Orel, chief operating officer of the “Dobrobut” multi-profile hospital in the capital on Bazhana Avenue.
“The war adjusted our plans. For example, we were planning to open a large hospital in Vinnitsa, it was supposed to receive its first patients at the end of last year,” he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
Orel clarified that “now we have suspended this project, but the clinic in Vinnitsa is waiting for its time.”
“At the same time we do not stop opening – we opened Bazhana, a large polyclinic on Entuziastov Street. We’re still moving forward, maybe not as fast and not on the same scale as before, but we are,” he said.
The Dobrobut medical network has extended the program of gratuitous surgeries and hospitalizations for the wounded and children.
Dobrobut told Interfax-Ukraine that the program has been extended until August 31, while previously it was planned that the program, which began in April 2022, would end on June 20, 2023.
“The program operates for Ukrainians stranded by war. Soldiers and civilians with wounds and injuries as a result of military action, as well as children – in the direction of “emergency surgery” and with congenital malformations can receive surgical care free of charge. For children there is also a program of free care in the intensive care unit (resuscitation)”, – specified in the nurses.
At the same time the clinic noted that “the number of places in the program of free surgical and hospital care is limited and to get help it is necessary to leave an application by calling the contact center “Dobrobut”.
The program operates at the Dobrobut Medical and Diagnostic Center on Semya Idzikovskikh St. with the support of the international Direct Relief Foundation.

During an X-ray examination of the mid-18th century Pokrova icon from the iconostasis of St. Sophia Cathedral, Dobrobut doctors helped to discover the oldest image of the outstanding cultural and religious figure of the 17th and 18th centuries, St. Raphael Zaborovsky, painted by his contemporary.
According to a press release from the Dobrobut network, the X-ray examination was conducted at the invitation of the National Conservation Area “St. Sophia of Kyiv” at the Dobrobut Medical and Diagnostic Center.
Employees of St. Sophia of Kyiv asked Dobrobut to conduct an X-ray analysis of the ancient icon and help find out when the image of Raphael Zaborovsky appeared on it. Last year, scientists of the Sophia Reserve discovered the relics of Zaborovsky in the dungeons of St. Sophia Cathedral. It was believed that they were burned under Soviet rule. After this discovery, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine proclaimed Raphael a saint on March 28, 2023.
The researchers assumed that the icon of the Intercession in the iconostasis of St. Sophia Cathedral depicts the image of Metropolitan Raphael: according to their assumptions, it must be the oldest icon with his portrait. However, the researchers of the reserve had serious evidence in favor of the fact that the icon was rewritten in the nineteenth century.
The study, conducted by Valeriia Semenenko, head of Dobrobut’s radiology department, found that the image of Raphael Zaborovsky was on the icon from the very beginning, from the middle of the eighteenth century, and the icon itself was not partially but completely rewritten in the nineteenth century – the plot changed, new characters were added to the image on top of the old ones.
“The X-ray study of the Intercession Icon, conducted by the head of Dobrobut’s X-ray department, allowed scientists and restorers of the National Conservation Area “St. Sophia of Kyiv” to see for the first time the true “face” of the unique mid-eighteenth-century St. Sophia Intercession Icon, which everyone can see in the iconostasis of St. Sophia Cathedral,” said Ihor Netudyhatkin, PhD in History, Head of the Sophia Museum Department of the National Conservation Area of St. Sophia of Kyiv.
Metropolitan Raphael’s activity and active assistance helped to build the bell tower of the Kyiv Cave Monastery, St. Andrew’s Church, the architectural ensemble of the 18th century Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, the Catherine Monastery in Podil, the bell tower and walls of St. Sophia and St. Sophia Cathedral, and the gilded iconostasis of the millennial church.
