The Health Ministry says a second cohort of staff has departed for Ukraine to staff the Israeli field hospital in western Ukraine.
The ministry says around 80 medical staff from across a number of disciplines and from hospitals across Israel will take over from the current team operating the hospital.
So far, the ministry says over 1,500 Ukrainians have been treated at the facility.
The medical center, located in the grounds of an elementary school in Mostyska, is called “Kochav Meir” (“Shining Star”), after former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, who was born in Ukraine and was the founder of the Foreign Ministry’s Agency for International Development Cooperation aid program, which is leading the field hospital project.
