The USAID Mission to Ukraine is responsible for the development, implementation and oversight of USAID-funded programs operating throughout Ukraine. USAID development assistance promotes Ukraine’s transition to a democratic, prosperous, stable, healthy country united in its European aspirations. The USAID/Ukraine Office of Health manages a large, dynamic portfolio of contracts and cooperative agreements to adapt health services and systems that can deliver quality services despite the ongoing war. USAID has directed implementing partners to support fragile health service delivery systems from collapsing, target outreach services to internally displaced persons (IDPs), reinforce systems to mitigate public health issues of concern, and help to maintain operations of health financing and reform institutions. The core focus of the health assistance is to 1) restore essential health services, especially in areas where services have been disrupted due to conflict; 2) help meet growing war-related health needs such as mental health and rehabilitation; 3) ensure continued availability and access to tuberculosis (TB) and HIV services and improve Ukraine’s public health security; and 4) strengthen health system governance, accountability, and efficiency.
