More than 1,100 starlinks work in the healthcare system to ensure communication.
According to Ukrinform, Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said this in the broadcast of the nationwide telethon “Novyni of the Seven”.
“We have over 1,100 Starlinks in hospitals in the healthcare system today, there were 400 two or three weeks ago. We are switching to alternative means of communication so that communication between emergency medical centers and hospitals is not interrupted.” – said Lyashko.
He added that as the equipment arrives, priority institutions are identified where communication needs to be provided. In remote settlements, emergency medical centers will be connected to the base of emergency services or gas stations, where Starlinks are located.
As reported, SpaceX founder Elon Musk helped provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and satellite Internet access. It also transferred Tesla Powerwall stations to Ukraine.
Starlink Ukraine (“Starlink Ukraine”) received its operator license in June 2022.
