Similarly, a hospital in Lviv will be equipped with an angiograph to visualize blood vessels and internal organs.
Thanks to funding from Interreg, Ukrainian doctors will also be able to exchange knowledge and professional experience with specialists from Poland, while residents of the Polish-Ukrainian border region will gain access to improved healthcare.
The Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine program supports post-war reconstruction in Ukraine, improves healthcare access, promotes sustainable tourism, and strengthens border management, with a total budget of over 262 million euros, largely funded by the EU.
Interreg NEXT Poland-Ukraine has allocated PLN 13.5 million to enhance healthcare in Ostrołęka and Lviv, funding a helipad and elevator in Ostrołęka and an angiograph in Lviv, while also fostering cross-border medical collaboration and improving healthcare access in the region.
"We support initiatives that improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare in Poland and Ukraine.
This project will soon enable patients to benefit from the latest diagnostic technologies and modern infrastructure," announced Konrad Wojnarowski, Deputy Minister of Funds and Regional Policy, during the signing of the funding agreement.
"In saving lives, every second counts, which is why building a platform for emergency helicopter landings is so crucial.
Well-invested funds support actions that address people's everyday needs and enhance their health safety," the Deputy Minister added.
