The institute had already suffered from a Russian attack previously. On September 28, 2025, the building was damaged during a combined strike on Kyiv. The greatest damage then affected the departments on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, including the department of endocrine cardiology and dyslipidemia, as well as the department of chronic ischemic heart disease.
