Why you should contribute and make this happen

Restore hope and save the future of children affected by war

We believe we have a responsibility to do what’s in our power to give the children suffering from war a better future. It is possible to heal and support them into becoming functional adults who can live a full life and contribute to society. But it won’t happen by itself.

Support and create new knowledge beyond Ukraine

The knowledge this initiative and its research will provide goes beyond the present situation in the Ukraine. It touches children across Europe and the world, and will have the capacity to mitigate trauma caused by future catastrophes such as climate change disasters, earthquakes and school shootings.

Create a brighter and more resilient future for everyone

By investing in the rehabilitation of children who are mentally and physically hurt by the war, we do not only help them, we help everyone. This is an investment that will benefit us all, building knowledge for the future through experience and research, creating a stronger and more resilient society in Ukraine and in Europe as a whole.

Importance of the Project to the Government

Ukraine’s first & only

First and Unique Healthcare PPP in Ukraine, setting the path for future social infrastructure PPPs in the country.

  • The Project is of high priority for the Government, as it addresses the urgent medical need, targeting the most vulnerable groups of the population. 
  • The PPP is expected to combine donor funding and private sector expertise in medical rehabilitation care. Under a long-term performance-based contract, the private sector will be held accountable for delivering the hospital in line with the KPIs set in the contract. 
  • The PPP model has high replication potential for social infrastructure development (hospitals, schools, housing, etc.) and the wider Ukraine’s national reconstruction efforts. 
  • In collaboration with the World Bank Group, as part of the Project, IFC will review medical rehabilitation standards in Ukraine, and recommend upgrades to clinical protocols. The Project is expected to incorporate key sustainability elements: training of Ukrainian medical personnel, review of the public tariff levels to reflect costs, and ensuring an efficient patient referral system to increase access to the poor.

  • December 2022 – an MoU signed between IFC and the Government of Ukraine (Prime Minister) to identify pilot projects across sectors. In the healthcare sector, the Project was identified as one of the priority projects. A dedicated Project working group is formed under MOH. 
  • October 2023 – The Ukraine Ministry of Health (MOH) and IFC signed a Cooperation Agreement to perform the preliminary assessment of the Project. IFC recruited specialized technical and legal consultants. Subject to the approval of the preliminary assessment, IFC supports the MOH and the Foundation in preparing the Project as a PPP and helps select qualified international private partners through a competitive tender process. 
  • IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, will support the Ministry of Health in preparing the project, together with the Foundation, on a PPP basis, to attract private investors to deliver the Project.
  • IFC will procure specialized international technical, environmental and social (E&S), and international/local legal consultants to assess and prepare the PPP Project in accordance with best industry standards and Ukrainian legislation. 
  • IFC already has a successful track record in Ukraine: two sea port concessions were prepared and private partners were successfully selected in 2021, for the first time in Ukraine. 

Ukraine’s children left with scars on their hearts and wounds on their bodies – victims of trafficking, sexual exploitation and abduction, deprived of stability, safety, school, friends, family and home. They are struggling to live in the midst of violence, bombings and shellings. They bear trauma that can be healed with the help of medical professionals. Modern children’s hospital in Ukraine, providing mental health care, rehabilitation and specialized surgery will be a hand for children in their survival fight and a chance to recover.
