The Ministry of Health intends to implement more than 100 digital projects in 2024, many of which are designed to implement EU directives and regulations in Ukraine, Deputy Minister of Health for Digital Development Maria Karchevych said during a telethon on Friday.
She also said that the Ministry of Health intends to make digitalization a part of the agency’s anti-corruption program, which was formed for 2023-2025 and includes 67 measures. In particular, these include the formation of supervisory boards in medical institutions, increasing the accountability of medical institutions, and managing stocks of medicines and medical devices.
“Where digital solutions are used, there will be greater transparency. Automation and certain electronic solutions allow for both control and accountability,” she said.
Karchevych emphasized that the electronic procurement management system will apply to procurement at the expense of local budgets, as well as to supplies made with the support of international partners.
“The electronic system will allow us to fully manage the stocks of medicines and medical devices in Ukraine, regardless of the source of their procurement, delivery or receipt,” she said.
Karchevych reminded that the Ministry of Health plans to gradually introduce a blood donation information system starting in 2024.
