Underground Hospital Saves 1,000 Lives in Ukraine War
President Zelenskyy recently visited a new underground surgical unit in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a facility capable of performing up to four surgeries simultaneously and stabilizing up to 200 patients daily. This facility, equipped with modern medical equipment, has already saved over 1,000 lives, treating soldiers directly from the battlefield. The construction of such underground medical facilities, along with similar projects like Kharkiv’s planned “underground town,” reflects Ukraine’s efforts to protect essential infrastructure and civilians from ongoing Russian attacks. These initiatives highlight the country’s commitment to ensuring healthcare access amidst wartime conditions.
