Poland is ready to help the children affected by an attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv, the Polish health minister has said.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russians fired 38 missiles toward Ukraine on Monday, eight of which could not be neutralized. The missiles hit civilian targets, including residential buildings and two medical facilities, among them the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Latest reports show that at least 33 people were killed in the assault, while over 110 were wounded.
On Tuesday, Polish Health Minister Izabela Leszczyna informed her Ukrainian counterpart Victor Liashko on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that Poland was prepared to help the victims of the “criminal Russian attack on a children’s hospital in Kyiv.”
“We are also ready to help other children who are being treated at this facility,” she added.
In addition, the Warsaw-based Children’s Memorial Health Institute—reportedly the largest and best-equipped pediatric healthcare institute in Poland—which cooperates with the bombed Ukrainian hospital, is in constant communication with it.
“Decisions on whether treatment and transport to other hospitals are needed are, of course, made on an ongoing basis by Ukrainian doctors, in consultation with the Ukrainian minister of health,” Leszczyna said.
According to her, Poland has been “supporting Ukrainian citizens since the beginning of the war, including with funds from the Relief Fund.”
“We are also helping Ukrainian patients to find necessary places in hospitals in Poland and Europe,” she said.
