March 2023 – Humanitarian needs in Ukraine continue to be significant. The 2023 Global Humanitarian Overview (GHO) indicates 17.7 million people require humanitarian assistance in Ukraine this year. Priority needs result largely from attacks on energy and shelter infrastructure, which hampers access to water, food, health care, transportation, telecommunications, and other essential services. The war is impacting women and men in different ways and is exacerbating pre-existing inequalities. With GAC’s support, the World Health Organization (WHO) respond to immediate health needs. Project activities include: (1) treating the wounded, trauma-affected and others in need of health care, prioritizing emergency medical services people with disabilities, older persons, children, and other vulnerable groups; (2) providing life-saving sexual and reproductive health services, including prenatal care; and (3) coordinating the health cluster response to emergency health needs in Ukraine.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to essential life-saving health services in Ukraine; (2) improved coordination of emergency health response in Ukraine; and (3) strengthened health information management and surveillance in Ukraine. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
