Enhanced access of vulnerable populations to healthcare services in conflict-affected areas of Ukraine
SDC will contribute to the provision of vital humanitarian assistance to the hardest-hit areas of southern and eastern Ukraine. The primary objective is to offer free and timely healthcare to those most affected in hard-to-reach areas and to thus improve access to basic health services. Through its partner, SDC will support at least 40 healthcare facilities in Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and Donetsk oblasts, with the focus on primary healthcare services.

| Contexto | Since February 24, 2022, the Russian aggression in Ukraine has caused a severe humanitarian crisis throughout the country. The ongoing security concerns, limited mobility, disrupted supply chains, and mass displacement have had a significant impact on access to healthcare. The shortage of medical staff and a lack of outpatient primary care services are among the most critical issues in primary healthcare facilities. Access to healthcare is especially critical for internally displaced people and people living in conflict areas. Certain medicines, such as those for heart and high blood pressure, pain, and antibiotics, remain challenging to obtain. The contributing factors to this problem include increased medicine prices, insufficient personal funds, unavailable medicines in local pharmacies, closed pharmacies, and lack of transportation. The contribution to Project HOPE’s project tackles this gap by providing medical assistance to the Ukrainians most affected by the armed conflict and supporting primary healthcare institutions |

| Grupos destinarios | Conflict-affected people (mostly older adults and women) living in oblasts adjacent to the frontline of the armed conflict |
