Aim: Showcase heroic efforts to maintain HIV and TB services and community systems

Background

Prior to the war, Ukraine was making strides towards ending HIV and TB, and was a champion in the region in terms of the sustainability of its response.

Since the start of the war in on 24 February 2022, more than 14 million people have been internally displaced or forced to flee to neighboring countries as refugees. These displaced people often lack access to health care, HIV and tuberculosis (TB) prevention and diagnosis services have been disrupted, and many people with HIV and TB have been forced to interrupt their treatment. Disruption of services and humanitarian deliveries continue to occur in areas of active fighting and on temporarily occupied territories.

Despite the many challenges, the Ukraine emergency response is an example of resilience, of what strong empowered communities can deliver, of the value of close coordination and partnerships between Government, civil society and communities, partners and donors. This event intends to share some of the lessons learnt through the emergency response in Ukraine and maintaining HIV and TB services in times of war.
