The Embassy of the State of Israel in Ukraine, together with the Israeli international cooperation agency MASHAV, donated a water purification system to the Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2.
The handover ceremony was attended by Michael Brodsky, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Israel to Ukraine, Mykola Kalashnyk, Head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Daria Melnyk, Director General of Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2, as well as the management and staff of the medical facility.
“The transfer of water purification systems is part of a broader project to assist Ukraine, which Israel began even before the start of the full-scale war,” said Israeli Ambassador Michael Brodsky. “Israel provides comprehensive support to the Kyiv Regional Hospital: its employees underwent rehabilitation training in Israel. We will continue to assist Ukraine. Israel stands with Ukraine. Together, we will overcome all difficulties. When the war in Israel ends, the war in Ukraine will end – and our cooperation will continue.”
Hospital Director Daria Melnyk gave the guests a short tour of the physical rehabilitation department, where patients undergo recovery using methods including Israeli medicine. She noted that MASHAV rehabilitation courses have received positive feedback not only from doctors in the Kyiv region, but also from medical professionals in Bucha and Obukhiv.
“The hospital constantly needs high-quality water. We have many patients who are recovering from injuries for a long time. The donated unit provides filtration of up to 3,000 liters of water per day, which is sufficient for the hospital’s needs,” Melnik said.
The head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, Mykola Kalashnyk, said that the regional administration plans to build an open rehabilitation area with exercise equipment on the hospital grounds, next to the new water purification unit.
“Such assistance motivates us to move forward. This is important because enemy attacks often lead to power outages. The installation will allow the hospital to have a stable water supply even under such conditions. Thank you for your support, for the equipment, and for the training programs for our medical staff. I wish your people victory as well,” Kalashnik emphasized.
