Key messages
This is a summary of the key messages emerging from the open-ended responses of the Ukrainian stakeholders surveyed, organized by theme.
01
Need for alignment
Unanimous, strategic, pragmatic
- All 6 respondents (100%) support alignment between national and EU GH Strategies, viewing it as essential for cohesive responses to cross-border health threats, optimized resource use, and a unified approach to GH governance.
- Alignment is also seen as a vehicle for promoting health equity, enhancing knowledge sharing and best practices, and amplifying the EU's collective voice in global health forums.
- Despite the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian institutional actors demonstrate a clear and pragmatic commitment to strategic alignment, recognising EU frameworks as anchors for effective and impactful health action.
02
Communication and implementation
Government first, one channel clear
- 83.3% support wider dissemination. Communication should prioritize government/ministries (80.0%), with academia and corporate sector as a secondary audience (20.0%).
- Social media is the unanimous recommended channel (100%) among those who favour dissemination. Qualitative feedback also mentions webinars, conferences, official publications, media outreach, and community-based initiatives.
- For implementation, respondents propose leveraging existing structures (ECDC, EMA, WHO partnerships) rather than creating new bureaucratic layers, with a centralized digital monitoring system and continuous feedback loops to track progress and foster accountability.
03
National strategy
A definition that is still unclear
- Although 66.7% of respondents report a GH framework embedded in the National Health Plan and 16.7% report a standalone strategy, Ukraine does not have a dedicated national Global Health Strategy. These responses reflect a broader confusion — observed across the survey — between general health plans or sectoral policies and a proper national GH strategy.
- Respondents stress the importance of integrating GH commitments into existing funding mechanisms, with emphasis on transparency, inclusiveness, and simplified reporting to ensure cost-effective implementation.
- Key national GH actors include the Public Health Centre, Ministry of Health, National Health Service, National Centres for Disease Control, and the National Academy of Medical Sciences — a dense, government-anchored ecosystem with strong institutional depth.
04
National coordination and key actors
Formal, resilient coordination
- 83.3% report formal coordination mechanisms among GH actors — one of the highest rates across the survey — a notable result given the challenging context of the ongoing conflict.
- Respondents describe coordination through structured dialogue between the EU, member states, and civil society, with proposals for regular exchanges, digital monitoring, and continuous feedback loops to ensure accountability.
- Ukraine does not have a confirmed GH Ambassador (66.7% say No) — a gap that could be addressed as Ukraine advances its EU integration path and strengthens its global health diplomacy capacity.
