GENEVA, Switzerland – Since the commencement of the war in Ukraine, the World Health Organization has confirmed 108 Russian strikes on healthcare facilities and personnel.

Health care institutions, staff, transportation, supplies, and warehouses have all been targeted.

At a UN press conference, Bhanu Bhatnagar of WHO Europe spoke from Lviv, near the Polish border.

“The situation is already dire and difficult.” Hospitals are without power, and medical supplies are scarce. And there is a nationwide shortage of drugs to treat chronic disorders,” he added.

At least 73 people have been killed and 51 have been injured as a result of the attacks.

“We continue to condemn all attacks on healthcare in the strongest possible terms,” Bhatnagar said. “These actions not only deprive people of essential health services, but they also violate international humanitarian law.”

WHO said it would deploy 15 generators to hospitals across Ukraine with limited or no power supply in the north, east, and south in the coming days.

“We’ve put aside two generators for Mariupol hospitals for delivery as soon as we can get in,” the WHO official added, referring to the beleaguered city in Ukraine’s south.

Getting supplies in

According to him, if the conflict continues, the health condition would deteriorate, hence WHO is bringing in supplies.

“That’s why we’re bringing in all these supplies,” says the narrator. However, safe passage is also required to support the healthcare system. Because we’re concerned that, in addition to the civilian casualties that may occur, there may be many more deaths as a result of a lack of access to adequate health care,” he said.

WHO is also assisting in the transport of patients in need of medical evacuation to Korczowa, Poland, where the Polish government has established a health center.

Around 300 health facilities in Ukraine are in combat zones, and 1,000 are in “changing areas of control,” according to Bhatnagar, putting the health sector at risk of infrastructure damage and serious disruptions in key services.

“This implies that in some locations, there is limited or no access to medicines, health facilities, or healthcare staff.”
