Digitalization in the era of war: How Ukraine’s Medical Supply system is transforming through digital innovation

Tuesday May 20, 2025 15:30 - 16:00 F3

Lecturer: Ihor Lysenko

Track: Cybersäkerhet och beredskap

The State Enterprise "Medical Procurement of Ukraine" (MPU) plays a key role in ensuring the Ukrainian healthcare system is supplied with high-quality medicines and medical equipment. With the onset of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, MPU faced unprecedented challenges, including the collapse of logistics chains, currency instability, and frequent changes in procurement legislation.

Despite these hardships, the organization not only continued its operations but also initiated a digital transformation by implementing a range of tools to increase efficiency. This transformation enabled MPU to achieve significant results, including conducting unique procurements of specialized medical equipment, thereby improving both efficiency and transparency under the conditions of full-scale war.

This session will provide a detailed look at the strategies and solutions employed by MPU to overcome wartime challenges and will showcase real-world examples of successful adaptation and innovation in the field of medical procurement during a time of crisis.
