It should be recalled that deputies of the Mykolaiv City Council supported the decision to reorganise the city’s healthcare network, which involves the creation of a cluster hospital and the transfer of one of the maternity hospitals to the ownership of the region.

Earlier, members of the Mykolaiv City Council’s health committee supported the reorganisation of the city’s hospitals. Also, Mykolaiv City Council member Olena Kiseliova reported that the reorganisation of Mykolaiv’s hospitals by merging them into a single structure would not lead to hospital closures or staff cuts, but is merely a change in legal form to secure additional funding from the National Health Service of Ukraine.
