Hintergrund NCDs such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases and mental health disorders are leading causes of death and disability in Ukraine. The average life expectancy in 2018 was 78 years for women and 68 years for men, which is well below the EU average (84 years for women, 78 years for men). The COVID-19 pandemic has hit vulnerable populations more severely, with NCDs amplifying the impacts. Long-term reform in the Ukrainian healthcare sector has been undertaken since 2016. However, it still falls short in prevention, diagnosis and management of patients at risk of or living with NCDs, of which the majority are men.
Ziele NCD related risk factors are reduced, contributing to improved health indicators of men and women in Ukraine.
Zielgruppen

Direct beneficiaries: Ministry of Health, National and Regional Public Health Centers, Ministry of Social Policies, Ministry of Education and Science, primary healthcare providers, CSOs, private business, communities and schools in 5 target regions.

Indirect beneficiaries: Ukrainian population, including children and youth, men and women, especially those with “risky behaviour” and with elevated NCDs risks factors.

Mittelfristige Wirkungen

Outcome 2: The capacity of primary healthcare to provide efficient and quality services for prevention, treatment and care of people with NCDs is strengthened in five pilot regions.

Outcome 3: The capacity of schools, public health centers and communities to reduce NCDs risk behavior is strengthened and the knowledge, attitudes and health seeking practices of the Ukrainian population are increased.
