Viktor Liashko, Ukraine's Minister of Health, is at the forefront of addressing complex health and socio-political challenges. Under his leadership, significant steps are being taken to reform the Medical and Social Expert Commissions, despite ongoing corruption issues. Liashko is also focused on the restoration of major medical facilities like the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital which suffered damage from Russian missile attacks. The ongoing war has strained Ukraine's healthcare system, with an urgent call for international support as Russian forces have caused over $7 billion in medical infrastructure damage. Liashko's work extends to managing COVID-19, where he has facilitated the acquisition of vaccines like Moderna and AstraZeneca, and is ready to combat the Delta variant. As Ukraine grapples with a global doctor shortage predicted by 2030, Liashko emphasizes preparing the medical system to meet future demands. His advocacy for comprehensive reforms and international cooperation is pivotal in navigating Ukraine through these turbulent times.
