Hi, we are the team of the CF “Patients of Ukraine”!
We have been working in Ukraine for over 10 years and representing the organization that back in 2015 initiated the reformation of the health care system and the state pharmaceutical procurement. In 2015 it was our organization that coordinated the creation of the National Health Care Reform Strategy healthsag.org.ua and we continue to work on implementation of the reform. The representatives of the CF “Patients of Ukraine” participated in the development of the Health Reform Continuation Strategy until 2030.
Our organization provided access to information about the stocks of free medicines in hospitals for patients by creating the site www.eliky.in.ua with information on free medicines available in almost two thousand hospitals of Ukraine. To support patients, we launched the hot-line where patients receive information regarding free medical services and medicines in health facilities.
We have managed to unite around us 50 highly motivated members, leaders of various patient’s communities, representing 23 nosologies and to become the most powerful patients’ organization whose voice is heard.
In times of peace we fight for access to treatment for seriously ill patients. Thanks to our work it proved possible to increase the budget for medicines for seriously ill patients to almost UAH 10 billion. The Foundation became the author of the bill on international procurement that saved for the state over $200,000,000. Owing to powerful advocacy we managed to win the simplified pharmaceutical authorization procedure expanding the range of medicines in Ukraine and making them more affordable.
The year 2020 brought an unexpected event for the Foundation and for the whole world: the COVID-19 pandemic completely changed our work. We understood that we should help our doctors fight this disease. So, according to the U-Control Rating we were included in the top 10 benefactors who helped fight coronavirus in Ukraine. After all, in one year we raised UAH 23,000,000 to help doctors fighting COVID-19. We provided 241 hospitals with the necessary equipment and more than 8,000 doctors with personal protective equipment. Those were the hard times but we did not know then that the hardest times lay ahead.
The first days of the war found us in Kyiv – some were hiding from bombs in basements, some were trying to evacuate from shelling. Some of our team members went to the front to defend the country. But we did not lose heart and almost immediately after the full-scale invasion launched a powerful platform to help patients and the wounded using the resources of the Foundation. We provided medicines and health products to health facilities in Ukraine focusing on hospitals in hot spots and localities to where victims were evacuated from the hot spots. We received and transferred equipment and medicines for the amount over UAH 44 million to health facilities. In addition, the CF “Patients of Ukraine” procured medicines and equipment directly from manufacturers for a total amount of about UAH 30 million.
Together with our partner “Crown Agents in Ukraine” we have already started rebuilding hospitals damaged by hostile actions. We launched the LikarTUT (Doctor is here) Project in cooperation with the USAID Health Reform Support Project. The Project is targeted for all who lost access to medical consultations and health care as a result of the russian aggression. We are working on the implementation of the “Rehabilitation of war injuries in Ukraine” Project supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) represented by the Embassy of Switzerland in Ukraine. This is the first major initiative that will change the approach to rehabilitation of Ukrainians affected by the war: creation of the advanced and effective rehabilitation system based on the principles of evidence-based medicine and a multidisciplinary approach.
Every hryvnia received by the Foundation is multiplied by the saved lives!
So, if you intend to assist the Foundation in helping the wounded and seriously ill even more, you are welcome to make your contribution to a good cause here:
