Abstract
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine inherited a decaying healthcare system. Significant reform was under way by 2014, laying the framework for creating a robust digital healthcare system. This viewpoint describes the evolution of this digital system and the constraints imposed by the ongoing war. Ukraine's healthcare system is in a unique position to maximise its expsertise in digital healthcare, as it addresses workforce challenges and reconstructs its facilities.
