National specialized children's hospital "Okhmatdyt"[1] (Ukrainian: Охматдит, an acronym of охорона материнства та дитинства - protection of motherhood and childhood) is a multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment facility in Kyiv, Ukraine, which provides specialized, highly qualified medical care to the children's population of Ukraine.
On December 17, 1893, in Gatchina, Emperor Alexander III approved the charter of the Kyiv Free Hospital for Laborers, named after Tsesarevich Nikolai.
The protection of motherhood and childhood infrastructure included children's hospitals in the city, milk kitchens, baby homes, and counseling centers.
On November 11, 1927, the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Health of Ukraine approved a resolution on the organization of the Institute for the Protection of Motherhood and Childhood in Kyiv, which was officially opened in March 1929.
In recent years, the number of sick children with complex surgical pathology from different regions of Ukraine has increased significantly, some of whom were operated on for the first time at their place of residence, according to the report.

In response, Minister of Healthcare Viktor Liashko asked Ukrainian police to investigate the tender process.
