Online in Zoom
Olha Kostetska Public Health Lead at USAID Public Health System Recovery & Resilience Activity (Swiss TPH) Olha Kostetska will describe how the public health sphere in Ukraine has functioned in the context of the full-scale war and how the war has aggravated preexisting public health threats and needs in the country. Even in the face of war, important reforms in the Ukrainian public health system are taking place to align with EU standards, which highlight priorities for post-war recovery and will support the country's euro-integration path. Kostetska is a public health and healthcare specialist focused on health system strengthening and resilience as well as health policy. Before joining Swiss TPH, Olha served as an advisor to a member of Ukraine's Parliament on legal matters in the healthcare field to streamline important reforms of the blood donation system and the public health system, and to address urgent COVID-19-related needs.
