Ukraine

Abt’s analytical expertise supported the Ukrainian government in developing strategic health purchasing functions. We helped advance agricultural policy in Ukraine. Growth in the country’s agriculture and food sector led to stronger investments. Abt also implemented a new children’s vaccination program, promoting new vaccines, stronger immunization financing mechanisms and better health coverage for the use of vaccines. We helped modernize the country’s Labour Code to both address COVID-19 impacts and update the framework more broadly to recognize changes in the economy where for example independent ICT/digital experts are much more prominent but not formally included in the Labour Code. As part of the USAID Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) Project, Abt is helping the Government of Ukraine to establish the necessary institutional and policy guidelines to establish a national telemedicine platform while also rapidly deploying telemedicine solutions across the country.
