Renovation and restoration work has commenced at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Odesa.

This hospital is the oldest medical institution in the city, established between 1802 and 1804 at the initiative of Duke Richelieu. It serves as a key defensive bastion against dangerous infectious diseases in Southern Ukraine.

The hospital provides care for residents of Odesa, the surrounding region, and internally displaced persons. In recent years, the hospital has been gradually evolving into a modern medical center capable of effectively responding to any challenges.

As part of the Ukraine Recovery Program, implemented by the Ukrainian government and the European Investment Bank, work is ongoing in two wings of the municipal clinical infectious disease hospital.

In the Valikhivsky wing, which is an architectural landmark, all structural elements will be reinforced during the renovation, and authentic interior details and marble stairs will be restored. Currently, demolition work is underway, with structural reinforcements and the armoring and concreting of ceilings taking place.

The internal layout of this hospital wing will be redesigned to meet modern standards, and all outdated engineering networks will be completely replaced.

In the administrative building, the roof has been replaced, and facade restoration work is nearing completion. Inside, the installation of partitions, finishing work, and the replacement of engineering systems—including ventilation, water supply, sewage, and electricity—are in progress.

In addition to the funding from the European Bank, other buildings of the hospital are being renovated with funds from the city budget. The final phase includes the renovation of a two-story children's wing, where a modern boxed department with 82 beds is being created.

Furthermore, city budget funds are being allocated for upgrading the drainage system, reinforcing, and waterproofing the foundation of the bacteriological laboratory.
