Odesa is home to 33 municipal healthcare facilities that provide urgent, planned, rehabilitative, and palliative medical care to the city's residents, military personnel, and internally displaced persons.
In light of the challenges posed by the ongoing war, a key priority is ensuring the autonomy and energy independence of these medical institutions.
All healthcare facilities are equipped with diesel and gasoline generators of various capacities to cope with power outages. Currently, there are 152 generators in use, including 63 high-capacity units. In the event of a power outage, these high-capacity generators in city hospitals that operate around the clock automatically activate, ensuring the functionality of medical equipment.
Seven healthcare facilities are equipped with solar power stations and energy storage devices.
Additionally, there are 14 gas, diesel, and solid fuel boilers in the medical institutions, allowing for autonomous heating. Preparatory work is also underway in some hospitals for the installation of modular boilers using alternative fuels as part of an agreement with the WHO Bureau in Ukraine, and efforts to put a modular gas boiler into operation are ongoing.
With financial support from UNICEF, four city hospitals have been equipped with artesian wells and water stations, ensuring autonomous water supply. These facilities also maintain reserves of technical and drinking water.
