HeRAMS Ukraine: Comparative Analysis Report January 2023 versus January 2024 - The Ten Most Affected Oblasts in Ukraine

Overview

The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS) aims to provide decision-makers and health stakeholders with vital, up-to-date information. This system is dedicated to monitoring the availability of critical health resources and services, thus playing a crucial role in identifying existing gaps and establishing intervention priorities.   

HeRAMS has been operational in Ukraine since November 2022. The current report offers an up-to-date status of the health facilities within Ukraine, with a specific focus on the availability of essential services and the challenges impeding access to these services. It is important to note that the deployment of HeRAMS is ongoing, including data verification and validation. Hence, the analysis presented in this report is not final and was produced solely for the purpose of informing operations. 

The present report provides a comparative analysis of the health infrastructure in Ukraine's ten most affected oblasts, focusing on a year-over-year analysis from January 2023 to January 2024. The provided analysis presents a detailed perspective of service availability changes across various health domains, including trauma, child health, communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health, maternal and newborn care, non-communicable diseases, and mental health support. 

It compares the operational status and services availability between January 2023 and January 2024 and offers insights for both individual oblasts and their respective raions, as well as affected territories collectively. This ongoing project, characterized by the continuous verification of data, serves as a critical resource for making high-level decisions and conducting operational research. 

Key applications of the report include evidence-based policymaking, facilitating humanitarian operations planning, fostering partnerships in the health and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) clusters, providing support for external missions, strengthening official communications, and facilitating long-term planning for the recovery of Ukraine’s healthcare system.
