'We have never seen globally this rate of attacks on health care. Health is becoming a target in these situations. It's becoming part of the strategy and tactics of war.'
The WHO's updates on health care in Ukraine come the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a plea to the U.S. Congress for more military supplies and support.
"We face financial constraints in our ability to deliver the support needed. So far, WHO has received just 8 million U.S. dollars of our appeal for 57.5 million dollars," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, the WHO director-general. While supply lines for essential medicines and medical supplies are now established, making use of them remains difficult during the conflict, he said.Ukraine already had a high number of people being treated for HIV and tuberculosis, said Adelheid Marschang, MD, senior emergency officer at the WHO Emergencies Program.
There's also a risk for children who cannot receive their vaccinations for rubella or measles in Ukraine, Marschang said."There's a risk of outbreaks."
