New equipment will be installed in the hospital to ensure proper conditions for patient care, including ventilation and heating systems, water supply, sewerage, and electricity. It is also planned to install new elevators, vertical lifts, and create barrier-free access for people with disabilities.

The reconstruction is expected to have a positive impact on the economic development of the region, creating new jobs and improving healthcare services. In addition to the main repair work, improvements in patient care and more comfortable conditions for patients and medical staff are envisaged. According to the initiators, the project is in line with the Comprehensive Regional Recovery Program. The estimated duration of the reconstruction is 31 months.

In addition, Mykolaiv plans to overhaul the phthisiopulmonary medical center, allocating more than UAH 80 million for this purpose. The main goal is to create a modern infectious disease unit with separate boxes to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff, reduce the risk of infections and increase treatment efficiency.

In addition, the first Rehabilitation Center in the region is being built in Voznesensk. The total budget of the project is UAH 37 million. It will help people recover from illness, injury, and surgery by providing comprehensive physical, psychological, and social support.
