Ukraine's achievements in digitalization of medicine were presented at an international summit in Turkey

The implementation of reforms during the war, the implementation of European norms in the healthcare system of Ukraine, the ultra-fast pace of digitization - this was discussed at a panel discussion with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine as part of the Executive Leadership Summit Informatics for Leareds (I4L) on Digital Transformation in Health in Istanbul.

Speakers and participants of the event presented and discussed unique cases of the medical sector of our country, which continues to work stably even under conditions of severe aggression: reforms are being implemented, digitization of the industry is developing, etc.

"Our country has made a lot of efforts to build a national e-health ecosystem. Today, Ukrainian eHealth unites interested parties, information systems, data registers, thousands of health care institutions, medical workers and millions of Ukrainians who trust the state with their health data," said the Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine for digitization Maria Karchevych.

The stages of the development of the electronic healthcare system, which was launched in 2017, were presented. In several years of digitization of the medical sphere, Ukraine managed to go the way that developed countries spend up to 15 years on. And already today, the electronic health care system is the largest state IT system in Ukraine.

Maria Karchevych noted the factors contributing to the successful implementation of the reform. Among them: government initiatives aimed at comprehensive reform of the health care sector, legislative regulation, external support of partners and transparency of funding.

It is also important to attract the potential of the Ukrainian IT market to the development of medical services and the use of international standards.
