New Life & Renewed Hope in Kamianske

This month, the Women’s Opportunity Fund of Ukraine financed and delivered two modern obstetric beds to Municipal Hospital No. 9 in Kamianske, which was heavily damaged in a missile strike last summer. Despite destroyed equipment and infrastructure, the hospital has continued its lifesaving work — delivering babies, providing emergency care, and treating women and newborns without interruption.

The new BIOMED multifunctional electric obstetric beds will significantly improve the quality and safety of care, allowing medical staff to better support women through labor, recovery, and necessary procedures. The hospital serves approximately 27,000 patients annually, including more than 800 births and over 2,000 internally displaced persons.

“For us, this initiative is about dignity — about the right of Ukrainian women to give birth in comfort even under the most difficult conditions,” shared Vlada Nedak, founder of the Women’s Opportunity Fund and CEO of Project Kesher Ukraine.

Just thirty minutes before the WOF-UA team arrived at the hospital, a baby girl was born in the maternity ward — a powerful reminder that even in the shadow of war, new life continues.

The visit was later highlighted on the official website of the Kamianske City Council, underscoring the importance of community partnership in rebuilding and resilience.
