In Gantsevichi under the program of development of areas of Pripyat Polesie build a modern medical building

Improving the quality and accessibility of medical care for each resident, regardless of his place of residence, remains one of the priorities of the state social policy. Comprehensive modernization of Gantsevichi Central District Hospital is carried out under the program for the development of Pripyat Polesie districts for 2025-2030. The first stage of transformation was the overhaul of the X-ray office with the purchase of digital diagnostic equipment, which was completed in November 2025. In the same year, a new oxygen station was commissioned and the implementation of the most ambitious stage - the construction of a five-storey medical building began.

Modernization of health care institutions is of great importance for the development of the social sphere of the Gantsevichi district, so any delay in the performance of work is unacceptable, say Deputy Chairman of the Gantsevichi District Executive Committee Sergey Kalenkovych:

The reconstruction of the central district hospital is divided into five stages. The construction of a new medical building is the main stage of work, the estimated cost of the facility is 29 million rubles, more than half of the cost has been mastered. Builders complete the decoration of the facade, interior rooms, equip sidewalks. At the same time, they are ahead of schedule. The delivery of the facility is scheduled for September next year, but we see a clear reduction in terms.

According to the chief doctor of the Gantsevichi Central Hospital Yulia Tsanda, the commissioning of a modern medical building will raise medical care to a new level and create comfortable conditions for patients and staff: The medical building is designed for 80 beds. On the first floor there will be a six-bed intensive care unit, which will fully comply with modern conditions and sanitary standards, as well as a stationary X-ray office and physiotherapy rooms. On the second floor there will be a pediatric department, on the third and fourth - a therapeutic department with neurological beds, and the fifth floor will be designed for administrative offices. At the same time, the building will be equipped with modern medical equipment. In parallel, the personnel issue is being addressed. In 2026, the staff of the Gantsevichy Central RB was replenished with 12 young specialists with higher education and four with secondary specialized. Four more doctors will arrive next year and the hospital will be fully staffed. The main scope of work on the construction of the building is carried out by specialists of UE "Luninetska PMK-19". According to the foreman of the enterprise Fedor Birilo, earlier the company built a modern district hospital in Luninets, the experience was useful:

The main stage in the construction of the building in Gantsevichy fell in the winter. So we had to use some technical know-how. For example, immediately after accepting concrete, we turned on electric heating, which significantly accelerated the process of hardening. They continued to reinforce and pour the structures even in 30-degree frosts without the slightest loss of quality. At the same time, control over the set of strength of concrete was carried out using a special ultrasonic device.

There are currently about 50 people working at the facility. Electrical and electrical systems are 90 percent complete. Builders mount doors, finish walls, ceilings and floors.

After the delivery of the medical building, they will proceed to the final stage - the reconstruction of the adjacent building of the women's consultation.
