The forum, organized by the Ukrainian Federation of Professional Medical Associations, became a platform for open dialogue between government representatives, experts, and the medical community on key challenges in the healthcare system.
“The forum is a space where the right questions are asked and answers are sought together. We often talk about reform, but we rarely stop to look back at what has been achieved and what needs to be reviewed. It is precisely such discussions that lead to important changes. We have strategic documents, the main one being the Health Care System Development Strategy for the period up to 2030. It is important that they do not remain on paper. My request to the community is to work according to these documents,” said Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko.
“We propose to create a permanent discussion platform within the National Forum to develop proposals for improving the Strategy and ensuring the protection of the interests of both doctors and patients. We call on everyone to join forces for a healthy future for Ukraine,” said Vyacheslav Kaminsky, Rector of the P. L. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education.
Financial protection for both patients and medical workers became one of the key focuses of the Forum. According to the Minister, these two areas should be given equal priority in state policy.
The Forum included a ceremony to award young doctors under the age of 40. Twenty-eight talented specialists from different regions of Ukraine received the “Future of the Medical Profession” award from the Ukrainian Federation of Professional Medical Associations.
The awards were presented by the rector of the P. L. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Vyacheslav Kaminsky, the chair of the board of the NGO MedGlobal Ukraine, Oleksandra Kozlovska, and the secretary general of the UFPMO, Igor Shkrobanets. Each nominee received a commemorative plaque and the opportunity to attend a master class from experienced mentors to improve their professional skills.
The forum was an important step towards deepening the dialogue between all participants in the healthcare system, with a focus on patient needs, support for healthcare workers, and the implementation of solutions that will truly change medicine in the country. Following the forum, the participants agreed to draft a resolution.
