51 hospitals all over Ukraine have been disabled or damaged by the Russian invasion so far. This is still expected to increase as war rages on in the country.

At least three hospitals have been destroyed. The hospitals in Izyum city, Kharkiv oblast and Makariv town, Kyiv oblast which were destroyed by Russian shelling. An additional hospital in Volnovakha city, Donetsk oblast which had been damaged on February 27 was destroyed during active fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces. In addition, at least 47 other incidents reported damage to hospitals, including seven children’s hospitals or clinics, three psychiatric
hospitals or mental health treatment centers and three maternity hospitals.

At least twelve health workers have been killed since the conflict began. Half were killed by explosive weapons use, including artillery fire and rocket attacks. Ambulances have also been attacked by Russian forces while transporting patients, medication, or supplies.
