The first healthcare infrastructure built since the 2022 Russian invasion, the facility aims to reduce patient overload in the region. The project was realized with international partners. ## Modular design advantages The hospital was constructed using modules manufactured in Poland based on CannonDesign's template. This method saved 50% in time and costs compared to traditional construction. The modules were designed to be expandable or combinable as needed. ## Capacity and services Expected to serve over 120,000 patients annually, the hospital features two wards, operating rooms, and an ICU. Designed with trauma-informed strategies, the facility aims to provide a safe and comforting environment for children. ## Supporting psychological recovery The hospital not only meets clinical needs but also provides an environment conducive to children's psychological healing. It features family-friendly patient rooms, daylight-optimized design, and play areas. ## Scalable model Project Horizon was designed as a scalable model applicable across Ukraine and other crisis zones. Its modular structure allows quick adaptation to different needs, offering a new approach to crisis management. ## Hope for the future Sunflower Network is leading the reconstruction of Ukraine's healthcare infrastructure with this project. Built without waiting for the war to end, the hospital aims to support national recovery and inspire other infrastructure projects. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.dezeen.com/2026/07/21/sunflower-network-project-horizon-hospital-ukraine/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
