| 10:00 PM | Kyiv | – Oleg Klots, General Manager, State Enterprise Medical Procurement of Ukraine; – Inna Ivanenko, Chief Executive Officer, Charitable Foundation “Patients of Ukraine”. All in person. | Where will the state’s additional 3 billion hryvnias for medical procurement actually end up? Key topics: – How the adopted Law will affect patient access to modern therapy; – Which treatment and diagnostic areas will receive additional funding; – What role patient organizations and others played in the aforementioned decision. Why is this important? Amendments to the 2025 State Budget have allowed for an increase in the reserve fund, directing additional resources to priority non-military spheres, namely healthcare, education, and support for veterans and internally displaced persons. Specifically, Medical Procurement of Ukraine will receive over UAH 3 billion for the centralized procurement of medicines to treat oncology, rare diseases, viral hepatitis, hemophilia, cardiovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, childhood mental disorders, and more. This additional funding represents over a quarter of the annual budget for centralized procurements (UAH 11.2 billion). According to the Ministry of Health, the current level of funding was only sufficient to cover about 60% of hospitals’ needs for medical goods. |
