Aim and scope
Public health threats represent a significant challenge to those providing health services in a crisis. The health issues and risk factors addressed in this document have been selected through secondary data review, based on the known burden of disease in this context, crisis-emergent health issues, and their potential impact on morbidity, mortality, response, and recovery. The aim of this document is to create a common understanding of the public health situation in Ukraine and facilitate the evidence-based coordination of activities among all agencies working with the populations affected by the crisis.

- an executive summary of the crisis;
- an examination of public health threats;
