The project began in July 2020 and was the result of a coordinated effort between the EU, EIB, Odesa City Council and the Ukrainian government.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine offered technical support.

Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov said: “Despite the war and daily attacks, together with our international partners, we’re building a new Ukraine – one that is modern and inclusive.

“It’s important that the civilised world and progressive financial institutions are united by this idea. I’m grateful to the EU and its bank, the EIB, for their support.

“This is excellent work within the framework of the ‘We Build Ukraine,’ initiative, which unites international partners around the recovery of Ukraine.”

Ukrainian Deputy Finance Minister Olha Zykova said: “Thanks to the active role and support of the European Investment Bank, we’ve been able to implement another socially significant project.

“The restoration of the City Clinical Hospital in Odesa is the product of our joint efforts to rebuild Ukraine.”
