As stated in the tender documentation, the restoration of the Circular Building is part of the measures to preserve the historical heritage of Odesa. The building of the infectious disease hospital is an architectural monument of national importance, but in recent years it has been in a state of disrepair and needs urgent repair.

In September, the Odesa City Council updated its Health program, allocating more than UAH 6 billion for the city's healthcare this year. The additional funding will be used to upgrade hospital equipment, develop rehabilitation departments and support staff, while some funds for the military and prevention have been cut. Another UAH 31.3 million has been allocated to equip rehabilitation departments in hospitals No. 1, No. 5 and No. 11, which will allow the completion of repairs and opening of new departments for patients.
