The Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko held a meeting with the EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kyriakides, during which an agreement was signed on Ukraine’s accession to the EU4Health international program.
The Ministry of Health notes that the inclusion of our country in this program will provide us with an additional opportunity to adapt the health care system to European standards, as well as facilitate the sectoral integration of Ukraine with the EU.
The main tasks of the EU4Health project are to prevent the spread of diseases and generally improve the health of the population, protect it from cross-border threats, help reduce the shortage and cost of medical drugs, and much more. €5.3 billion has been allocated for the implementation of these and other goals in the period from 2021 to 2027.
The European integration of Ukraine will improve the quality of life of our citizens through access to relevant EU funds and finances. We are grateful to the European Union for its constant support of Ukraine, particularly in the medical field. The signing of the agreement gives us access to EU funding in the field of health care. This will allow the Ukrainian health care system to quickly respond to urgent needs and will contribute to the restoration and modernization of the destroyed medical infrastructure, including long-term
We will remind you that we recently wrote about the fact that all Ukrainian medical workers received free access to the UpToDate resource.
