Lviv Regional Clinical Perinatal Center provides assistance to pregnant women and newborns with various pathologies, as well as premature babies. Due to the deterioration of the security situation in Ukraine, the Center is facing a new challenge related to safety of patients and staff during air raids. After the bombing of the children’s hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol’ and other cities, the Center became one of the last fully-functioning healthcare facilities of its kind in the country. One of the Center’s buildings has a 6,450-square-foot basement that can be refurbished and equipped to conduct needed operations in safe conditions.
