It became known that the network of private medical clinics Dobrobut has provided free medical care to more than 20,000 patients since March.

Details. The clinic cooperated with the Tabletochki foundation, with which they opened a palliative ward. It was completely filled with patients in just 4 days.
In particular, during the full-scale war, Dobrobut received about UAH 30 million from partners – the money was used to pay for consumables and pay salaries to employees. Organisations such as the Children of War Foundation, Direct Relief, International Medical Corps and the University of Miami Global Institute provided financial assistance to the clinic.
“I was excited, as it took only 2 weeks from the first call to the moment when we actually got that first money. In the world of philanthropy and grants, this is an incredibly short time,” Shekman commented.
The director also reported that due to hostilities at the beginning of March, the network had been reduced to one hospital, but as early as the end of the month, departments began to open. As of now, 17 Dobrobut clinics are operating in Ukraine.
Moreover, the network managed to open two new clinics in the west of Ukraine – in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk cities. Such a decision was made due to the fact that loads of Ukrainians left for the West, including the doctors of Dobrobut clinics.
Shekman also expressed hope that the network would soon become a national operator and would work in all large and medium-sized cities of Ukraine. The company's plans also include the creation of its own educational medical institution.
