Every month, the Kherson Regional Children's Clinical Hospital treats around 2,500 children from the recently de-occupied Kherson oblast (region). From now on, patients have a more comfortable and secure place to wait out air raid sirens. This is critically important in the realities of life in Kherson, as the city is under daily shelling from Russian [forces].
Kherson is a city on the front-line, recently liberated but still under constant threat from Russian [army] shelling. Despite the difficult circumstances, doctors here treat patients in the most critical condition who cannot be safely transported to hospitals in Mykolaiv. Constant shelling forces staff and patients to go down into the shelter multiple times a day, and some patients are constantly staying in the shelter while undergoing treatment. Therefore, the task of creating a decent and comfortable conditions in rooms of the shelter, became our top priority,

The premises of the shelter were renovated and provided essential supplies for patients to stay there. Additionally, the Foundation installed wheelchair ramps to facilitate patient access to the shelter and even equipped a doctor’s office in the shelter with a surgical lamp. The total cost of the shelter refurbishment is over 1 million hryvnias.
Kherson is right in the middle of the active warfare, and the city is constantly under fire. In this regard, we must ensure the safe stay of our patients in the hospital. Thanks to the productive cooperation with the "Voices of Children" Foundation, three rooms in the shelter have been equipped for the stay of patients — a ward, a children's room, a kitchen and a bathroom. We are sincerely grateful to the benefactors, the "Voices of Children" Charitable Foundation for helping our institution,
