Ukrainian maternity hospital treating wounded soldiers as Russia conflict escalates

A private maternity hospital in western Kyiv is not only treating pregnant women and mothers, but also wounded soldiers.

This is a MedPage Today story.

Despite the conflict surrounding them, Dr. Valery Zukin, CEO of a private maternity hospital in western Kyiv, Ukraine, -- just five to 10 kilometers from the "zone of fire" -- said the staff have no choice but to continue to work.

Over the previous four days, doctors, nurses, midwives and cooks have stayed overnight at the hospital. Some doctors and nurses have brought their children as well.

"And for this moment, we must stay like a big family," Zukin told MedPage Today.
