Highlights
• WHO supported the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Ukraine and the Interdepartmental Coordination Council led by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, on the national roadmap for the mental health programme initiated by the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska in May 2022. Launched on 9 December 2022 by the First Lady and Prime Minister, the operational roadmap will facilitate a humanitarian response built on existing structures, resources and innovations.
• WHO produced a rapid risk assessment for Ukraine, focusing on winter as a hazard. In the context of escalating war, high population movement and displacement, damaged infrastructure and disrupted health systems, with winter comes the risk of excess cold-related morbidity and mortality.
The risk assessment considered the potential impacts of winter and actions that could be taken to reduce the risk to affected populations, and also to health service delivery.
• WHO published a study describing the different ways in which access to medicines and medical devices was disrupted in the early stages of the war. It indicates how problems due to damage to infrastructure, logistics difficulties and lack of health-care staff were mitigated through streamlined legislation and volunteer involvement.
• WHO worked with the European Union (EU) Delegation to Ukraine, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Ukraine, and the World Bank to develop a discussion paper on health system recovery in Ukraine. It will support the development of plans for early recovery efforts by suggesting key priorities for the sector over the next 18–24 months.
