A plastic surgery clinic is being built in Uzhhorod

Derbak noted that after the aggressor destroyed the clinic in Kyiv Oblast, “the decision to build a clinic in Uzhhorod was a natural one.”
“We saw one more important factor – logistics for patients. I ran the statistics: 80% of our patients today come from abroad. These are Ukrainians who left during the war but return to Ukraine to receive medical services. That is why medical services will remain very much in demand for Zakarpattia as a region. And that is why we decided: we will build here,” he said.
Derbak noted that the clinic project will consist of two buildings – a surgical building and an inpatient building.
“One building is an entirely new surgical center of 1,000 sq. m, equipped, among other things, with its own bunker – with all the necessary safety features, which, unfortunately, were very much needed in Bucha. The new clinic already takes all these risks into account. Perhaps this is a consequence of traumatic experience, but I do not want to go through anything like that again. The second building is the reconstruction of the existing building into an inpatient facility,” he said.
Derbak noted that “the surgical building has been designed to the highest standards: it will even be possible to perform open-heart surgery there – with appropriate ventilation, air sterilization and all medical requirements.”
The next stage of the project’s development will be the opening of a large balneology department.
“We have already drilled two wells – to depths of 1,200 and 800 meters – and have thermal radon water, which is ideal for treating scars. After the war, we plan to operate as a specialized plastic surgery clinic for patients with scar deformities. In addition, we will create a rehabilitation center for military personnel: we will combine surgical care, balneological treatment, and physical rehabilitation after injuries, operations, burns and contractures,” he said.
