Sviatoshyn Raion
Kyiv hosts most of the governing bodies of the Kyiv Oblast (which are generally separate from the city government). Separately, Kyiv also serves as the administrative center of the lower-level Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion (district) of the Kyiv Oblast as the former is a purely suburban area lacking a distinct central settlement. Healthcare and other public services infrastructure of the Kyiv Oblast and the Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion is also located primarily within the city of Kyiv.
