In Lviv, following a major refurbishment, the upgraded clinical and diagnostic laboratory at the Children’s Medicine Centre has resumed its work. This is one of the institution’s key units, as it is here that hundreds of thousands of tests are carried out every year for young patients from different regions of Ukraine.
According to the institution, in 2025 alone almost 570,000 tests were performed in the laboratory. This year, the number of investigations is already roughly 50,000 higher. The unit operates around the clock and provides more than 100 types of laboratory examinations, on which the speed of diagnosis and initiation of treatment largely depends.
During the major refurbishment, the premises, engineering networks, electrical wiring, ventilation and safety systems were completely renewed. Particular attention was paid to accessibility: doorways were widened, doors replaced and handrails installed to make the space convenient and accessible for all visitors.
More than 30 million hryvnias from the regional budget were allocated for the refurbishment and technical re-equipment of the laboratory in 2025–2026. The Children’s Medicine Centre emphasises that the modernised laboratory operates without interruption and provides diagnostic services for the institution, where up to 20,000 children from all over Ukraine receive inpatient care every year.
The management notes that the experience of upgrading this laboratory is planned to be used as a reference point for the modernisation of other regional public medical institutions, in order to improve conditions for the diagnosis and treatment of children throughout the Lviv region.
