More than 11% of Ukrainians never visit a doctor, while almost 10% do so more than 10 times a year.
According to the results of a survey conducted by the research company Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in early February, 41.3% visit doctors 1-2 times a year, 27.2% – 3-5 times, and 10.4% – 6-10 times.
“The group of people who do not visit doctors at all requires a separate study of the reasons, which may include financial barriers, mistrust, and psychological burnout,” said Alexander Pozniy, director and co-founder of the research company Active Group.
He drew attention to the fact that most respondents visit a doctor once or twice a year, but noted that there may be different reasons for this.
“We need to ask the question, why is this so: because our people are so healthy, or because people cannot go to the doctor or do not trust doctors. But this is a question for the medical professionals themselves,” he said.
Pozniy also noted that according to the survey results, “family doctors are accessible to the majority of the population, especially in cities,” while access to specialists, especially for rural populations and populations in small or remote communities, raises questions “primarily due to the lack of the necessary number of specialists.”
For his part, Grigory Soloninka, a member of the board of the public organization “Kyiv Regional Organization of the All-Ukrainian Medical Society” (VUO), professor of the Department of Internal and Occupational Diseases at the Kyiv Medical University, noted that “we need to return to the issue of rural medicine and, perhaps, make certain changes so that the rural population does not receive fewer services than the urban population.”
“If we take a remote village, then, perhaps, there is a problem with getting to a narrow specialist and receiving specialized medical care,” he said.
For his part, Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin noted that “medicine is part of the country’s economic stability, and when medical expenses erode family budgets, it affects consumption, savings, and people’s ability to work and recover.”
“In Ukraine, almost a quarter of the population spends up to 20% of their family budget on medicine, and one in five spends more than 20%. If we translate this into the language of economic financial analysis, then from the point of view of international methodology, the fact that a person spends more than 10% of their budget is catastrophic. In other words, we see a sign of a serious financial burden,” he said.
The study was conducted on the SunFlowerSociology online panel on a representative sample on February 11-12, 2026. The survey involved 1,000 respondents from a representative sample in all regions of Ukraine, except for the temporarily occupied territories.

According to a survey conducted by research company Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in early February, 28.4% of Ukrainians prefer Ukrainian medicines.
According to Alexander Pozniy, CEO and co-founder of Active Group, 33.4% of respondents more often choose imported medicines, while for 38.2% of respondents, the country of origin of the drug is irrelevant.
“For manufacturers, this means that competition is based on reputation, proven effectiveness, and stability of supply, and Ukrainian brands can strengthen their position through quality and clear communication,” said Alexander Pozniy, CEO and co-founder of Active Group.
According to Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin, “the fact that almost a third of consumers choose domestic drugs shows the importance of accessibility and trust in quality in the domestic market.”

According to the results of a survey conducted by the research company Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in early February and presented at the Interfax-Ukraine press center, 31.4% of respondents called electronic prescriptions “very convenient,” 44.1% called them “rather convenient,” 18.7% called them “rather inconvenient,” and 5.9% called them “very inconvenient.”
“Digital tools gain support when they save time and really simplify access to medicines,” said Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin.
“Negative attitudes among some users are usually associated with practical failures and varying levels of digital literacy, and this needs to be taken into account when fine-tuning the service,” said Alexander Pozniy, CEO and co-founder of Active Group.

According to the results of a survey conducted by the research company Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center and published in the Interfax-Ukraine press center, when buying medicines, 50.5% of respondents primarily focus on the combination of price and effectiveness, 25.0% on price, and 24.5% on effectiveness.
The survey was conducted online on February 11-12, 2026, with 1,000 respondents (18+).
“The choice of ‘price plus effectiveness’ reflects the desire to get results, but within a limited budget,” said Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin.
“Consumers are becoming more rational, and this intensifies competition among manufacturers for trust and affordability,” said Active Group CEO and co-founder Alexander Pozniy.

Dubai’s real estate market, which ended 2025 with record figures, may face a temporary slowdown in demand in early 2026 amid military escalation between the US, Israel, and Iran, but experts do not expect prices to collapse yet.
In 2025, real estate sales in Dubai were estimated at $187 billion, with more than 215,000 transactions. Investors from India, the UK, and Russia were identified as key buyer groups, while in early 2026, some investors took a wait-and-see approach.
Among the factors putting pressure on the market, analysts highlight reports of incidents in landmark locations and the impact of transport restrictions: temporary disruptions and closures of air hubs reduce the influx of foreign buyers and complicate transactions, especially in a segment that depends on quick visits and viewings.
At the same time, prior to the current escalation, price dynamics remained positive: according to REIDIN, in January 2026, the Dubai residential sales price index rose by 0.75% compared to the previous month and by 11.79% year-on-year, indicating continued inertial growth at the onset of the crisis.
Market participants admit the possibility of a “pause without a fall” scenario if the hot phase ends quickly, but warn that a protracted conflict could severely affect liquidity and lead to a more noticeable correction, primarily in the most sensitive segments and locations.
Sandwich panels with weather-resistant steel cladding create a unique architectural aesthetic and ensure maximum energy efficiency for buildings.
In 2021, Finnish company Ruukki introduced Patina sandwich panels with mineral wool filling, with Cor-Ten exterior cladding and polymer-coated steel interior cladding.
Patina sandwich panels have a patented lock shape that prevents internal corrosion at the joints.
Ruukki Patina gives the building’s facade a striking appearance that changes color over time from silver at the time of delivery to a rich brown in a few years. This property of Corten steel creates a “living” facade that attracts attention. The rich rusty brown color with an aging effect blends perfectly with glass, concrete, and greenery.
Cor-Ten steel requires no maintenance and has a long service life. Thanks to its ability to form a new oxide film (patina) on the steel surface, owners can save on building maintenance, as the surface repairs itself without the need for repair or painting. The high quality of steel and mineral wool ensures that Patina sandwich panels will last more than 50 years without the need for special care.
Corten panels meet the highest environmental criteria, allowing building investors to earn more points in LEED and BREEAM certification systems.
The unique properties of Cor-Ten sandwich panels give the building elegance and timelessness, as well as setting it apart from the many other commercial properties in the area.
The client wanted to create a building that would respect the heritage and refer to the colors of the facades of the historic brick buildings in the area.
The result is a modern, functional building that meets high standards for airtightness, fire safety, and durability. Patina sandwich panels ensure a long service life for the building and reduce its carbon footprint.
Thanks to their excellent airtightness, the panels have improved the building’s energy rating and enabled savings of up to 30% on heating and air conditioning costs, which is very important for large sports facilities.
The building is heated using geothermal energy and is constructed from sandwich panels with maximum thermal insulation. The architecturally attractive Cor-Ten façade attracts attention, which is an important advantage for tenants of the property, which is located along the motorway.
Ruukki Patina sandwich panels give the building an elegance that blends naturally into its surroundings.
The facade of the office section, made of Patina sandwich panels, makes the building stand out and blends harmoniously with the surrounding greenery. The rich orange-brown color of the panels contrasts beautifully with the gray tones of the production and storage section of the facility. The building features a unique solution – Cor-Ten radius wall sandwich panels.
