Ukraine opens EU-financed clinic and administrative centre in southeastern region

A new clinic and administrative centre have opened in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, built from scratch during Russia’s war against Ukraine under the European Investment Bank (EIB) recovery programme.

The clinic, located in the village of Oleksandrivka, is an outpatient facility that will have the capacity to serve more than 3,000 residents of Oleksandrivka and surrounding communities. Construction took place between February 2024 and December 2025 at a cost of more than €718,000, including around €566,000 in EIB financing.

The clinic includes consultation rooms, medical equipment, accessible entrances and sanitary facilities. It also features a fully equipped shelter to protect patients and staff during emergencies.

The administrative centre, located in the settlement of Slobozhanske, will offer more than 24,000 residents – including nearly 4,000 internally displaced people – public services including marriage and birth certificates, business and property registrations and residency permits. The centre was built between February 2024 and February 2026 at a cost of almost €1.47 million, including more than €1.15 million in EIB financing. The building also contains a fully equipped shelter for visitors and staff during emergencies.

“Local communities continue to build new hospitals and public service facilities, once again demonstrating Ukraine’s determination to keep essential services running despite Russia’s daily attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region,” said EIB Vice-President Karl Nehammer. 

The financing from the EIB came through its €200 million ‘Ukraine Recovery Programme’. The programme is one of three joint European Union-EIB recovery initiatives implemented in partnership with the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and local authorities, with technical support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, or oblast, EU-EIB initiatives have to date supported a total of 36 recovery projects, with 12 facilities already completed, including these two new public infrastructure facilities.
