Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance reported the information.

It noted that the money under the HEAL and HOPE projects will help the Ukrainian government expand the range of healthcare services and access to them, as well as overcome the consequences of Russia's armed aggression and rebuild Ukraine's housing infrastructure.

The grant funding from the Government of Japan includes $70 million under the World Bank's HEAL Ukraine project to support the state budget as reimbursement for expenditures under the medical guarantee program.
