On an area of more than 700 square meters there is a maternity ward, an operating room, intensive care wards, post-intensive care – everything necessary to bring new life into the world and take care of it,” Kozitsky wrote.
He noted that before the full-scale war, this basement was used exclusively for domestic needs. Even the height of the ceilings no longer allowed – 1.5 meters. To reconstruct the shelter, it was deepened by more than a meter. During the work, almost 125 truckloads of soil were removed. They replaced the sewer system, fire system, ventilation system, and installed internet. Everything meets the requirements of safety, accessibility and state building codes.
