Item Vulnerable in silence: Paediatric health in the Ukrainian crisis(Wolters Kluwer, 2022) Awuah, W.A.; Ng, J.C.; Mehta, A.; Yarlagadda, R.; Khor, K.S.; Abdul-Rahman, T.; Hussain, A.; Kundu, M.; Sen, M.; Hasan, M.M.The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a humanitarian disaster. It has a wide-ranging impact on the livelihood and the health of those affected by the war. In the midst of constant shelling and casualties, children are more vulnerable to injuries, infections, malnutrition, and trauma, all of which can have serious consequences for their physical and mental health. Children, unlike adults, are simply subjected to the horrors of war with no pre-existing ability to deal with the consequences. We hope to highlight the effects of the current Ukrainian war on the health of the paediatric population, with a particular emphasis on surgical care, cancer care, infectious disease, to name a few. We hope to help contextualize future data and encourage the development of a system to protect and serve the war's most vulnerable population.Item From adversity to advancement: leveraging war-tested approaches for the post-conflict reformation of the Ukrainian healthcare landscape(Published by Oxford University Press, 2023) Adebusoye, F.T.; Tan, J.K.; Awuah, W.A.; Bharadwaj, H.R.; Naeem, W.; Ferreira, T.; Roy, S.; Abdul-Rahman, T.; Личко, Володимир Станіславович; Lychko, Volodymyr StanislavovychThe Russo-Ukrainian Conflict has had significant repercussions on Ukraine’s healthcare system, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to healthcare institutions. The disruption of personnel, medical supplies, and patient transportation has created considerable challenges for healthcare services. However, there are successful approaches from comparable contexts that can serve as a catalyst for post-conflict healthcare reformation in Ukraine. Key strategies include improving healthcare accessibility for marginalized populations through standardized essential health and surgical care packages, rehabilitating damaged facilities, strengthening primary care provisions, and supporting war survivors with disabilities. By adopting these proven practices, Ukraine can stren gthen its healthcare system and facilitate a sustainable recovery, contributing to the country’s resilience and ensuring essential healthcare services for its population.
