This is Okhmatdyt, the largest children's hospital in Ukraine, treating about 20,000 children every year, many of them seriously ill. 10,000 surgeries are performed here annually.

This is what it looks like today, a year after a Russian airstrike.

On 8 July 2024, a Russian  cruise missile hit one of the hospital's buildings - the building of the toxicology department, where children were on dialysis. Five buildings were destroyed or damaged.  Two people died and more than 300  were injured.

"I would like this information to be spread in the world, that Russian invaders are launching missiles at children's hospitals, that this leads to disruption of children's treatment, that children suffer from this."

Millions were raised in donations. But a scandal over procurement spurred officials to put a new oversight system in place. 

1:10 2:52 SOT Oleksandr Urin, Acting Director General of the National Specialised Hospital ‘Ohmatdyt’
" My position and the position of the hospital as a whole is that both the hospital and the foundation are responsible for the use of these funds. +  And this is the most important thing for the hospital to be rebuilt, for us to regain public trust when we demonstrate that these funds have been used honestly, transparently, the work has been done, and children are again treated in good conditions."

But there's en enormous amount of work to do - which will happen in multiple stages. 

1:42 Volodymyr Dukhovych, acting director of Riola-Module LTD
"This building needs a ventilated facade, glass, interior finishing work, there is damage to the ventilation, there is an electrical part that needs to be done, there is heating, there is water. All the systems that exist in this building and provide life support to this building were destroyed, because this entire sit e  was damaged and it was fully functional with all the systems."

Olga Blia and her daughteer Nastya, who had leukemia, were staying here when the airstrike came. The blast wave blew out the glass on the balcony and damaged the ceiling of their room. Olga carried Nastya in her arms.

2:30  SOT Olga Bila, Nastia's mother
"I was very worried about Nastia in terms of what was going to happen next. She had just had a blood transfusion and had no white blood cells. She needed special conditions."

Some hospital units that were hit are old, historical monuments, which will take longer to restore.

 Viktoriia, a nurse at the ward was injured while she was going up to get children down to the shelter. She fractured her pelvis and thigh bones and ruptured multiple internal organs. She used to move around in a wheelchair and did not think she would ever return to medicine. But for two months now, she has been back at work.

3:16  Victoria Didovets, nurse
"Our department has become smaller, we had a 20-bed department, now we have a 6-bed department. And due to this, the number of patients and the volume of everything we can do has decreased, because we simply do not have a place to put so many children physically.

3:36 
Though the hospital has fewer beds and less facilities than before it was bombed, but the need for surgery for WOUNDED children - who often have bullet and shrapnel injuries - has increased. Rebuilding the entire hospital may take years. But Okhmatdyt still takes in sick children each day - because their lives and futures depend on it.
