The Verkhovna Rada has approved the first reading of a legislative proposal to amend the 2025 state budget, allocating an additional UAH 3.1 billion for centralized medicine procurement. This decision reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening the healthcare system and ensuring the availability of essential medications for citizens. The funding is intended to enhance the purchasing power of the national healthcare system, enabling it to acquire a wider range of treatments and medical supplies. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the healthcare sector and improve public health outcomes. The increase in budgetary allocation demonstrates the government’s prioritization of healthcare as a key area for investment.
