1 Out of 5 People in Ukraine Can't Get Medicine

FEBRUARY 27TH 2023

The health care system in Ukraine continues to function, but is inaccessible to many people.  Spiraling costs combined with logistical hurdles and damaged infrastructure make it difficult for individuals to obtain essential products and services.   According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 5 people are not able to get the medicine they need for critical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart conditions, and pain; they also lack needed sedatives and antibiotics; 1 in every 3 adults sought primary care and ½ of them reported at least one barrier to accessing care, cost being the most common.

JRNU bridges the gap for thousands of Ukrainians, ensuring they receive the medicine and medical care they need, including mental health services.

In Rivne, a woman received expensive medication to treat cancer.

In Kaminske, little Kira is treated for severe allergies.

In Kamianske, baby Khana holds her bronchitis medicine.

Dima, in Cherkassy, accesses expensive new technology to address developmental issues.

Young Ilya, who lives with his grandfather in Vinnytsia gets costly medications to address a variety of issues.

In Zaporizhia, a man relies on JRNU for his daily prescriptions.
