According to the results of a study conducted by Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in February and presented at the Interfax-Ukraine press center, only 13.1% of respondents reported that they use the state drug reimbursement program, 70.6% do not use it, 16.3% had heard of it but did not use it.
“Low use of the program is often associated not with a lack of need, but with barriers to awareness and access,” said Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin.
“If people ‘have heard of it but have not used it,’ then the patient’s path to compensation remains difficult,” added Alexander Pozniy.
The survey 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.
