Report on situational analysis results of acute stroke care in Ukraine

ABSTRACT

Stroke care remains a critical health care priority in Ukraine, with an estimated annual incidence of 130 000 stroke cases and higher mortality rates compared with the average within the WHO European Region. This updated report extends the previous situation report on stroke care in Ukraine (2019–2021) by incorporating recent developments and expanding the analysis to monitor the trends. Leveraging data extracted from the electronic health information system, policy materials review and an assessment of stroke services’ performance, this report benchmarks Ukraine against other countries in the WHO European Region.
