Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the health care system has faced unimaginable challenges. According to a recent report by the Global Fund, there have been more than 1,500 attacks on Ukraine's health infrastructure over the past two years, impacting hospitals, warehouses, vehicles and workers. The attacks have devastated services, leaving many, especially in remote and de-occupied areas, with little to no access to essential medical care.
The war waged by Russia against Ukraine has been ongoing for almost three years, forcing Ukrainians to endure unimaginable hardships while seeking and finding new paths to recovery.
