This report summarizes key accomplishments and progress by objective for Year 1 (April 2, 2012-September 30, 2013). Accomplishments Summary Objective 1: Improve the quality and expand availability of the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS)-based TB services. In Year 1, new curricula on TB and MDR-TB case management, laboratory diagnostics, and infection control (IC) based on WHO-recommended best practices were introduced by the project and approved for use at Ukrainian medical universities. In addition, 790 health care providers successfully completed project-organized training and started applying best practices in TB detection, treatment, and prevention at their workplaces. National-level external quality assurance (EQA) guidelines were drafted to address deficiencies in the quality of laboratory practices. These guidelines now are undergoing legislative review. The health administrations in all USAID-supported regions issued local orders requiring that TB microscopy quality assurance be performed annually. Of these laboratories, 78.6 percent underwent EQA with over 95 percent correct microscopy results. Objective 2: Create a safer medical environment at the national level and in USAID- supported areas. Two regulatory documents on TB infection control (IC) were developed: one for TB treatment facilities and one for laboratories that perform TB diagnostics. In addition, two specific legal sections were proposed during the revision of the Ukrainian Law on Ensuring Sanitary and Epidemic Safety of the Population that specify IC and medical waste management procedures. Due to these and other reforms promoted by USAID, the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service (SES) now implements evidence-based TB IC measures rather than focusing on punitive actions, as it previously did. The SES also established a new national group of TB IC experts to provide regional health facilities with recommendations and mentorship. IC plans in 18 health care facilities in USAID-assisted regions became operational. These plans included such measures as assessing transmission risk within facilities, distinguishing high-risk zones, separating patients in accordance with resistance profiles and contagiousness, establishing outdoor sputum collection points, and using personal protective equipment (PPE) and ultraviolet (UV) radiators. Objective 3: Build capacity to implement programmatic management of drug-resistant TB (PMDT) for (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB at the national level and in USAID-supported areas. STRENGTHENING TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL IN UKRAINE: ANNUAL REPORT 1 New MDR-TB recording and reporting (R&R) forms were adopted by of Health to improve decision-making, aimed at the application of complete examinations, improving diagnostics and timeliness of treatment, selecting better treatment regimens, and improving drug management. The project implemented -resistance survey (DRS) in Kharkiv and Kherson in partnership with the WHO. A reliable DRS is essential to determine and justify the variety and volume of second-line drugs (pharmaceuticals used for the treatment of TB in cases of drug resistance) needed to control MDR-TB. These decisions should be made according to the drug resistance profile of Ukrainian MDR-TB patients. The DRS procedure now includes EQA of culture tests and drug susceptibility testing (DST) both within and beyond the 10 USAID-supported regions. With project support, the TB Center of Excellence (CoE) in Dnipropetrovsk is becoming a key implementer of the cascade training approach. To date, the CoE has facilitated 19 training events. Additionally, during nine supervisory/mentoring visits, mentoring teams have provided more than 100 TB specialists from the Dnipropetrovsk oblast with on-the- job training and consultation on issues related to TB case detection in primary health care (PHC) facilities, laboratory diagnostics, DOTS, TB/HIV management, and TB IC. The CoE clinical arm also worked to improve patient case management according to WHO recommendations on PMDT. National TB IC experts have recognized the CoE as a model to be followed by other TB facilities. Objective 4: Improve access to TB/HIV co-infection services at the national level and in USAID-supported areas. The project introduced a TB screening questionnaire in AIDS Centers. All people living with HIV (PLWH) now undergo TB screening procedures to identify TB symptoms in a timely manner. With project support, the MoH added a new TB section to its R&R forms on provider- initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC) to capture information on TB prevalence among individuals who undergo HIV testing. This has improved the timeliness of dual infection detection and treatment, helping to increase patient survival. 2 STRENGTHENING TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL IN UKRAINE: ANNUAL REPORT I. ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY OBJECTIVE Objective 1: Improve the quality and expand availability of the WHO-recommended DOTS-based TB services. Activity 1.1: Build institutional capacity to improve the quality of DOTS-based programs. Per Task 1.1.1, to strengthen the formal medical education system to include internationally recognized, modern approaches to TB control, the project incorporated international standards of TB care into the pre- and postgraduate medical education curricula

Accepted 10 February 2017 Though it has long historical roots, the practical definition KEYWORDS and geopolitical framing of the term has been debated and Russkii mir; de facto states; refined in Russian political and cultural circles during the Ukraine; Crimea; geopolitics; years of the Putin presidency. Having both linguistic-cultural biopolitics and geopolitical meanings, the concept of the Russian world remains controversial, and outside Russia it is often associated with Russian foreign policy actions. Examination of official texts from Vladimir Putin and articles from three Russian newspapers indicate complicated and multifaceted views of the significance and usage of the Russkii mir concept. Surveys in December 2014 in five sites on the fringes of Russia – in southeastern Ukraine, Crimea, and three Russian-supported de facto states (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria) – show significant differences between the Ukrainian sample points and the other locations about whether respondents believe that they live in the Russian world.

  • Ukraine | 1 UKRAINE Situation Report No.35 As of 10 April 2015
    Situation Report No. 35 – Ukraine | 1 UKRAINE Situation report No.35 as of 10 April 2015 This report is produced by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers period of 3 to 10 April 2015, unless otherwise noted. The next report will be published on or around 17 April. Highlights1 ● Rapidly increasing food prices, decreased food consumption have impacted the lives of many in the eastern oblasts of the country. ● Access to social services such as pension and salaries remains suspended in many conflict-affected areas. ● Access constrains related to bureaucratic procedures and different practices in the field continue hinder response. ● Funding for humanitarian operations remains low: only 18 percent of the USD 316 required for 2015 has been funded or pledged. 1.2 million registered IDPs Source: Ministry of Social Policy (MoSP) This product only portrays displacement in Eastern oblasts. 76% of total IDPs are registered in five oblasts of Eastern Ukraine. Situation Overview Lack of access to food has greatly increased since October/November 2014, especially for conflict affected population living in non-government controlled areas. Rapidly increasing food prices, decreased food consumption and decreased diet quality have significantly impacted the lives of IDPs in the eastern oblasts of the country. At the same time, main food security activities are still concentrated in big cities and urban areas, while small localities are unattended and IDPs have very limited access to food support or basic humanitarian assistance. Concerns related to impeded access to social services by IDPs and conflict-affected people continue to increase in both government controlled and non-government controlled areas.
