Tragedy in Izium: losses among medical workers

Five staff members of the regional disease control centre were killed in Izium as a result of Russia's use of guided aerial bombs (KABs). This incident occurred during a Russian strike on the city's infrastructure.

Restoring the healthcare system after deoccupation

Among the dead were specialists who were among the first to resume their duties after Izium was liberated from the occupiers in 2022. Their work was focused on restoring medical infrastructure and reviving the epidemiological surveillance system in the region.

After deoccupation, these women personally cleaned the damaged laboratory premises, removed broken glass, and gradually restored their full functionality. It was these five women who became victims of the Russian strike with guided aerial bombs.
