Ukraine has fulfilled 78% of its healthcare commitments under the Association Agreement with the EU. In 2023, the progress in fulfilling obligations amounted to 12%
The press service of Ukraine’s Ministry of Health reported the information.
"We are stepping forward towards European integration. In February 2024, we have already started negotiations with the European Commission, which means that we are entering a new level of the EU accession process. At the same time, we do not forget about fulfilling our other obligations under the Association Agreement and express our sincere gratitude to our European partners for their continued support on this path of reforms and modernization of our healthcare system," said Deputy Minister of Health for European Integration Maryna Slobodnichenko.
At the end of 2023, work was completed on a number of European integration regulations in the healthcare sector, which regulate, in particular, measures to ensure the safety of blood and its components, the impact of chemical and biological agents on workers, and requirements for plastic products that come into contact with food.
