- BACKGROUND
The purpose of the USAID Health Reform Support (HRS) project is to support a transparent, accountable, and effective health care system that is capable of meeting the health needs of the Ukrainian people. During the war and Ukraine’s simultaneous and subsequent recovery, HRS is prioritizing critical restoration and recovery activities to fill short-term war-related gaps, aligned with the national-level Comprehensive Recovery Plan of Ukraine.
Russia’s ongoing invasion presents significant challenges to the Ukrainian health care system. Given the current circumstances, critical facilities have an urgent need for some equipment to be purchased, which can support the continuation of services during periods of power disruption.

- Power stations of different capacity
- Solar panels, which can be connected/attached to the power stations
- Starlink devices (devices + monthly subscription)
