Project Overview and Role:

The purpose of the USAID Health Reform Support (HRS) project is to support a transparent, accountable, and effective healthcare system that is capable of meeting the health needs of the Ukrainian people. Advancing health sector reforms, enhancing transparency, and tackling corruption will reduce out-of-pocket payments and improve access and availability of high-quality, evidence-based healthcare services for Ukrainians. Elimination of corruption is a cross-cutting theme across all objectives to be achieved by this activity, which includes:

1. Improve health sector governance.
2. Support the transformation of the healthcare financing model.
3. Strengthen the health workforce.
4. Enhance transparency, accountability, and responsiveness of the health care system.
5. Improve the service delivery system at all levels.
