Healthcare in Wartime Ukraine

This internet publication shares reflections from my recent trip to Ukraine (2025), where I conducted interviews and gathered data in Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and several surrounding communities. I spoke with health care providers and patients to understand their perspectives on the state of Ukraine’s health care system, the impact of ongoing reforms, and the challenges of accessing essential resources during wartime. This research was approved by the Virginia Tech Institutional Review Board (IRB #25-028) and the Ukrainian Institute of Public Health Policy (IRB #2025-2). While peer-reviewed publications are forthcoming, what follows offers an early glimpse into these findings.
