The city of Odesa is currently hosting a delegation from the Executive Secretary of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS), and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).

This visit, featuring five UN ambassadors and other notable guests, was organized by UNDP in Ukraine as part of collaboration with UNOPS and UNFPA.

During their working visit, the delegation toured various projects being implemented with UN support.

The mayor expressed gratitude for the assistance provided to Odesa, particularly for the involvement in the reconstruction of one of the departments at Hospital No. 8.

Gennadiy Trukhanov noted that the facility is a regular hospital and does not provide emergency services, yet it has already saved several lives, especially as it received victims from hostile attacks requiring urgent medical aid. This help was rendered thanks to the highly skilled staff working in excellent conditions with new equipment.

The participants also discussed future cooperation, including attracting international investments for infrastructure projects (reconstruction of sewage and drainage systems, construction of housing for IDPs, etc.).
