On April 19, 2022, the territory of a hospital in the district center of Bashtanka was shelled by Russian troops. Several departments were destroyed. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Despite the attack, doctors resumed work the next day. They covered the broken windows with plastic and continued to treat patients. All the rural outpatient clinics of the Center of Primary Medical and Sanitary Aid worked very hard as well, Oksana Shparuk, director and chief physician of the institution, says. The units that were under occupation suffered the most.
