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.

Krisberedskap och upphandling: Lärdomar från Ukraina för en motståndskraftig vård och omsorg
Vid allvarliga samhällsstörningar, som elavbrott, cyberattacker och naturkatastrofer, ställs hälso- och sjukvården samt omsorgen inför stora utmaningar. För att kritiska leveranser ska kunna upprätthållas krävs en robust och uthållig försörjningskedja som kan hantera störningar och hög belastning. I samtalet med Ellen-Elena Reinolds, specialistläkare och grundare av Operation Aid, diskuteras hur den ukrainska hälso- och sjukvården hanterat logistik och akuta behov under extrema förhållanden. I seminariet får även vi en inblick i Socialstyrelsens roll som sektorsansvarig myndighet för beredskapsarbetet inom sektorn hälsa, vård och omsorg. Klara Diskay, enhetschef för Enheten för försörjningsberedskap, redogör för några av Socialstyrelsens uppdrag och insatser inom beredskapsområdet. Med utgångspunkt i dessa erfarenheter diskuteras centrala faktorer vid upphandling av avtalsanpassad beredskap i Sverige.

Even under the most extreme conditions — including full-scale invasion, mass displacement of civilians, and systematic attacks on healthcare infrastructure — Ukraine has managed to maintain the functioning of its health system by relying on a robust digital backbone: the national Electronic Health System. With over 35 million patient records and more than 400,000 connected healthcare professionals, the system ensures secure medical data exchange, supports continuity of healthcare services, and enables real-time coordination across all regions of the country.What began as part of a healthcare reform agenda before the pandemic has evolved into a nationwide system ensuring interoperability and efficiency under extreme conditions. Ukraine’s experience demonstrates how public digital infrastructure — when built with flexibility, national stewardship, and long-term vision — can sustain essential services even in crisis.This presentation offers a powerful case study on how public sector digital transformation, driven by urgency, innovation, and determination, can operate under fire—and inspire international partnerships for the future of health data exchange in Europe.
