Energy insecurity in Ukraine poses a serious threat to the health of mothers and newborns, especially in maternity hospitals, where patients depend on uninterrupted power supply. Premature babies in incubators need a steady supply of electricity to keep them warm and to operate the medical devices that monitor their vital signs and support their lung development. Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have caused the country to lose up to 8.5 gigawatts of power by October 2025, nearly half of its total energy capacity. With temperatures down to minus 20 degrees Celsius, the energy deficit has become critical, with Ukraine needing around 18 gigawatts but only able to produce 6.4 gigawatts. Power outages in maternity hospitals threaten the lives of mothers and newborns, as even a short interruption in power supply can have fatal consequences for patients dependent on medical devices. Approximately 15 million people in the left-bank Ukraine are at risk of a complete blackout. The energy crisis thus directly threatens maternal and newborn healthcare and creates an unprecedented health crisis for mothers and their children.
