24-Hour Pharmacy Locations in Kyiv
Kyiv has designated a new set of pharmacies that will operate around the clock during prolonged power outages. Six facilities, located within hospitals across various districts of the capital, are equipped with backup power supplies. This will ensure residents can access essential medicines during emergency situations, a critical need as the city's energy infrastructure remains under strain.
These pharmacies will activate during extended blackouts, which began impacting Kyiv on January 9, 2023. Emergency power cuts were implemented that day, followed by an even more severe electricity deficit on January 13. This has created an urgent demand for 24-hour access to pharmaceuticals, particularly for critical care.
Locations of the 24-Hour Pharmacies
The six pharmacies designated for 24/7 operation are situated in different districts of Kyiv:
- Darnytskyi District: KNP 'Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 1' (Pharmacy No. 69, 121 Kharkivske Shose)
- Desnianskyi District: KNP 'Kyiv City Clinical Hospital for Emergency Medical Care' (Pharmacy No. 119, 10 Vulytsia Kubanskoi Ukrainy)
- Obolonskyi District: KNP 'Kyiv City Children's Clinical Hospital No. 1' (Pharmacy No. 74, 30 Bohatyrska Street, Building 1)
- Solomianskyi District: KNP 'Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 6' (Pharmacy No. 99, 3 Prospekt Liubomyra Huzara)
- Pecherskyi District: KNP 'Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 12' (Pharmacy No. 125, 4-A Vulytsia Professora Pidvysotskoho)
- Shevchenkivskyi District: NDSL 'Okhmatdyt' (Pharmacy No. 52, 28/1 Vulytsia Viacheslava Chornovola)
The importance of accessible medical services during crises is underscored by the fact that over 9,000 residents have already utilized mobile resilience points set up by the State Emergency Service. The 24-hour operation of these Kyiv pharmacies will improve medical care for the population during power outages.
The opening of 24-hour pharmacies in Kyiv is a vital step in meeting the medical needs of the population during crisis situations.
This measure is a direct response to the complex power supply situation that has persisted since the start of the year. Having pharmacies with backup power will help mitigate health risks for residents facing urgent medical requirements.
