In order to ensure that Ukrainians living in frontline areas have adequate living conditions and unhindered access to quality educational, social, and medical services, the government has introduced a comprehensive support program for frontline regions.
Under this program, from August to November 2025, medical facilities operating in frontline, remote communities and those where active hostilities are taking place have already received more than UAH 280 million in additional funding. The funds are intended to improve people's access to medical care and to provide support to medical workers.
In total, medical facilities received an additional UAH 282 million:
- 54.2 million UAH — additional payments to primary healthcare facilities;
- 56.2 million UAH — additional payments to emergency healthcare facilities;
- 171.7 million UAH — funding under the package "Ensuring the preservation of human resources for the provision of medical care."
"Communities near the front lines live in difficult conditions of constant shelling. The state's task is to provide people with the same high-quality and accessible social services, including medical services, even in high-risk areas. It also aims to support those who continue to work in healthcare and save lives in close proximity to the front lines. The changes introduced as part of the Frontline Regions Support Program provide additional funding for medical institutions, allowing them to increase salaries and retain professional staff," said Oleksiy Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine – Minister of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine.
We remind you that:
Since October this year, primary healthcare providers working in frontline areas (currently nine regions) have been subject to an increased coefficient of 1.2 to the base capitation rate.
In October, the total amount of additional payments in these regions — Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv — amounted to UAH 5.8 million.
The largest additional payments at a rate of 1.2 were received by:
- Kherson region — 2.2 million hryvnia per month;
- Dnipropetrovsk region — 1.6 million hryvnia;
- Donetsk region — 1.1 million hryvnia.
In addition, reduction coefficients for primary healthcare facilities in frontline areas were abolished, resulting in an additional UAH 21 million in payments each month.
Due to the absence of adjustment coefficients, funding increased the most in the Kharkiv region (+UAH 7.6 million per month), Zaporizhzhia region (+UAH 3.2 million), and Odesa region (+UAH 3.1 million).
Additional financial support is also provided to emergency medical care facilities in frontline territories (Sumy and Chernihiv regions).
The new increased coefficients are now as follows:
- 1.48 — for territories of possible combat operations (previously 1.1);
- 6.01 — for areas of active combat operations (previously 1.26).
In addition, institutions providing primary medical care in communities with low population density already receive 20% more funding for each patient declaration.
Since September, the monthly amount of such additional payments has been approximately UAH 20 million.
The package "Ensuring the preservation of human resources for the provision of medical care" provides for additional funding for medical institutions operating in combat zones.
Such institutions will receive a fixed amount for each employee every month to increase their wage fund. Since the changes came into effect, contracts totaling UAH 515 million have already been signed with providers operating in frontline territories under the package "Ensuring the preservation of human resources for the provision of medical care."
For reference: The Frontline Territories Support Program is a comprehensive 10-year program that combines the reconstruction of housing, schools, hospitals, and critical infrastructure with support for local businesses and direct assistance to people. The program is based on five priorities: people, housing, security, business, and health. This provides communities not only with restored infrastructure, but also with resources for long-term development, even in the difficult conditions caused by the war.
