Current Situation in Ukraine

People are fleeing—especially from the eastern part of the country—to areas where the security situation is relatively stable, or to other countries. Many people, however, remain in their homeland and continue to face the consequences of the war. They have lost loved ones, have had to leave their homes, or live in constant fear of attacks. Traumatic experiences can have long-term psychological consequences and make it difficult to cope with daily life under these challenging conditions.

At the same time, the healthcare system faces major challenges. Healthcare facilities must maintain care even under difficult conditions. Damaged or inadequate infrastructure, disrupted water and energy supplies, and a lack of accessibility can complicate or jeopardize medical treatment. People who rely on reliable medical care due to their age, an illness, a disability, or their living situation are particularly affected.
