One patient was injured when the building of the M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine in the capital was hit.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“Russians have struck a hospital again. This time, they hit the operating room of the Strazhesko Institute of the National Academy of Medical Sciences in Kyiv <…> Fortunately, there were no fatalities. One patient was injured and received all the necessary medical assistance,” the head of government said.

Koretskyi recalled that the Institute’s building was hit last year as well.

The Institute treats people with heart conditions from across Ukraine. Doctors perform surgeries here, care for patients recovering from heart attacks, and help people get their lives back.
