Increasing Ukraine's resilience in the health sector

Sector:
Status: Active

The overall objective of the project is to build a custom rehabilitation centre to increases the level of rehabilitation care for patients with cardiology pathology.

Ukraine's healthcare system remained largely unchanged since the Soviet era until reforms began in 2017. The system initially developed into a vast, state-owned network with numerous hospitals and doctors, but was costly and offered little autonomy. Ukraine's healthcare system currently faces significant challenges due to Russia’s full-scale invasion.
