Activity Report: Dynasty Medical Center (Ukraine) - December 2025 - March 2026 Known for providing around-the-clock medical services, Dynasty Medical Center is AMDA’s partner organization based in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. For this past winter, which happened to be one of the coldest to date, the center also extended support to local citizens by offering a space to warm themselves up after the central heating became unavailable due to power outages. It also introduced people to apartments equipped with heating if their houses had been damaged by air raids. For the medical side of its work, the center has seen an increase in the number of seasonal illnesses among children during the winter months, including respiratory inflammation, ear infections, and adenoid hypertrophy, with some cases requiring surgical procedures. These illnesses were observed in addition to conflict-related injuries such as ruptured eardrums and facial injuries caused by explosions and bombardments. To help people in need, the center also sees about 40 to 50 patients per month for free, with around 10 of them receiving surgical operations also free of charge. Although people’s daily lives have been far from peaceful, the extent of the conflict can be limited in Kharkiv. Price hikes have been significant but essential goods such as medicines, medical items, foodstuffs, and daily necessities are still available. The household energy bill has remained relatively unchanged, while the energy bill for businesses has become twofold since the start of 2026. Public transportation services have been available for free, and although the city must deal with frequent power outages, the authorities have been trying their utmost to restore them, helping the city maintain order. When asked how people’s lives have been in Kharkiv, Dynasty’s director commented: ‘We are trying to spend each day as normally as possible. People here enjoy strolling around the decorated city during the Christmas season, seeing friends or going cross-country skiing in places that are landmine-free. Times are tough but we treasure each day and live it as if it were always the same.’
