Eastern Ukraine, Donetska & Luhanska Oblasts GCA: Public Health Situation Analysis (PHSA) – Long-form (Last Update: 21 January 2022)

Health Cluster, WHO (2022) C_WHO

This analysis has identified the priority health threats to the conflict-affected population based on the current situation and their expected evolution over the next 12 months. Across Ukraine, COVID-19 is currently the highest priority health threat. With cases and deaths continuing to mount amid low vaccination rates, the health care system is struggling to cope, prompting more strict public health and social measures (PHSM). The situation is not expected to improve until most of the population is vaccinated. The recently reported case of polio in the western part of the country highlights the threat of vaccine preventable diseases. Despite childhood vaccination coverage reportedly being close to WHO targets in 2020, disruptions to immunization programmes due to insecurity and the pandemic place the population in Donetska and Luhanska oblasts, especially children, at risk. COVID-19-related restrictions have also impacted TB and HIV programmes, evidenced by lower case-reporting, potentially delaying treatment of unreported infections and risking further disease transmission in regions known to have higher TB and HIV/AIDS death rates than the national average

Communication providing operational guidelines on external border management EU-Ukraine borders

European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations ECHO (2022) CC

2 march 2022 Today, the Commission is proposing to activate the Temporary Protection Directive to offer quick and effective assistance to people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Under this proposal, those fleeing the war will be granted temporary protection in the EU, meaning that they will be given a residence permit, and they will have access to education and to the labour market. At the same time, the Commission is also putting forward operational guidelines intended to help Member States' border guards in managing arrivals at the borders with Ukraine efficiently, while maintaining a high level of security. The guidelines also recommend that Member States set up special emergency support lanes to channel humanitarian aid and recall the possibility of granting access to the EU on humanitarian grounds

Ukraine Crisis

World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO

WHO is working closely with our offices in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, as well as partners to rapidly respond to the health emergency triggered by the conflict and to minimize disruptions to the delivery of critical healthcare services. WHO continues to deliver much-needed support on urgent health needs.

Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs OCHA (2022) C1

Almost eight years of active fighting have had profound consequences on the lives of millions of people in the conflict-affected Donetska and Luhanska oblasts of eastern Ukraine. An estimated 2.9 million people are projected to need humanitarian assistance in 2022, with some 55 per cent living in the non-Government controlled area (NGCA).1 1 According to the national Ukrainian legislation, such areas have been defined as the temporarily occupied territories of Donetska and Luhanska oblasts

A short guide to cancer screening. Increase effectiveness, maximize benefits and minimize harm

World Health Organization WHO, Regional Office of Europe (2022) C1

The purpose of cancer screening tests is to detect pre-cancer or early-stage cancer in asymptomatic individuals so that timely diagnosis and early treatment can be offered, where this treatment can lead to better outcomes for some people. The aim of a cancer screening programme is either to reduce mortality and morbidity in a population by early detection and early treatment of a cancer (for example, breast screening) or to reduce the incidence of a cancer by identifying and treating its precursors (such as cervical and colorectal screening). This short guide is designed to be a quick reference that contains the important ideas about cancer screening. Readers should refer to other publications for comprehensive discussion and detailed guidance on cancer screening programmes
