Overview
On 24th February 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, resulting insubstantial civilian casualties, the displacement of millions of people, and widespread destruction of social and economic infrastructure. Despite immense pressures and ongoing attacks on healthcare, the health system in areas under the control of the Government of Ukraine has demonstrated resilience, maintain edits functionality and it already undertaking efforts to rebuild and recover. This report documents four case studies of current modalities related to health system recovery in Ukraine and the role played by the private sector and other nongovernmental actors in this process. The report is intended to shed light on some of the important roles being played by different nongovernmental actors in the recovery and early rebuilding processes, outlining possibilities for future scale-up, critical issues to be addressed further and potential partnerships to be formed, in the attempt to “build back better” – creating a health system that progresses towards universal health coverage for the population of Ukraine.
