PJSC Ukrnafta will provide fuel to the National Children’s Specialized Hospital Okhmatdyt (Kyiv) to operate during blackouts, the company said in a press release on Thursday, citing a post by Director Sergiy Koretsky on its Facebook page.

Koretsky signed a memorandum with Okhmatdyt CEO Volodymyr Zhovnir.

“While we are working in the energy rear, doctors are saving lives. It is important that doctors can work and children can receive medical care under any conditions. I am very grateful to the medics who continue to save lives in all circumstances – during air raids, shelling, blackouts,” said the Ukrnafta CEO.

“Okhmatdyt is the largest specialized children’s hospital in Ukraine. It performs over 10 thousand surgeries annually. 20 thousand of its patients are treated, and about 270 thousand receive consultations.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Okhmatdyt has not stopped working. It provided emergency care to the victims of the hostilities, worked during the occupation of Kyiv region and blackouts.
