Feedback from Western Ukraine Feedback from Western Ukraine Results of M&E Missions in Western Ukraine 27 08 2020 Dr Yurii Zhyhariev, National Consultant on Clinical Management, WHO COVID Response Incident Management Team Overview of the situation WHO conducted Monitoring and Evaluation Mission with regard to COVID-19 pandemics response in Lviv, Zakarpattya and Chernivtsi Oblasts, 27-31 July 2020 The western regions of Ukraine (Lviv, Zakarpattya and Chernivtsi) are among the worst affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. These three regions accounting for up to 30% of the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ukraine. Mission purpose: • Assess the situation in selected hospitals and check the level of hospital bed occupancy and admission to care; Determine if there are other hospitals that do not prescribe COVID-19 but accept patients with COVID-19; • Visit major hospitals and identify the root causes of high levels of infection among healthcare professionals; • Assess the hospital's ability to manage the situation and its readiness to respond in case of oversaturation of the number of new methods, biomedical equipment, trained health care professions, PPE, etc.; • Liaise with regional health authorities and hospital administration and provide regular information, arrange meetings with regional health authorities and discuss urgent needs, especially in technical support. !2 !Ivano-Frankivsk city and oblast (7-10 July 2020) Exceptionally heavy rainfalls during the last week of June reported to have caused severe damage in five regions of western Ukraine (Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Zakarpattia, Ternopil and Lviv oblasts). Among the five affected oblasts, Ivano Frankivsk was identified as the most affected due to two reasons – one was its highest number of populations and the other was its geographical features, with Dnister river running through the northern part and the Carpathian Mountains in the south. • A multi-sectoral assessment mission was initiated and coordinated by OCHA. The mission comprised of six team members representing five UN agencies, namely FAO representing Food Security and Livelihood (FSL) Cluster, UNICEF representing Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster, WHO representing Health Cluster and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). • The mission was conducted in collaboration with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, Caritas Ukraine and other key partners currently operational on the affected areas. • Ivano-Frankivsk oblast was selected as a site for the mission to visit. • During the mission we had the opportunity to visit several healthcare facilities, including in the affected regions. !3 !Ivano-Frankivsk city and oblast (7-10 July 2020) 1.The mission found that the flooding has not disrupted health services’ provision. The locations that were cut off remained accessible with support of the State Emergency Service, and access to the 17 paramedic points (FAP) and 1 hospital which were flooded was shortly resumed. 2.While small pockets of needs remained to be addressed, particularly among those whose houses were completely destroyed and those who have been cut-off from services due to infrastructure damage in the mountainous areas, at the time of the mission the situation had improved considerably and stabilized. 3.The mission, therefore concluded that there was no need for a large-scale international emergency humanitarian response, assuming that the government would continue its effort in addressing the immediate and long-term needs. 4.Observational data from visits to designated COVID-19 hospitals are included in the overall conclusions. !4 Ivano-Frankivsk city and oblast ➢17 health facilities affected. ➢200 km of roads completely destroyed and 500 km of roads partially damaged. ➢Some 12,000 water wells polluted. ➢In the mountainous areas, 93 bridges destroyed and 249 partially damaged. ➢80,000 km of the embankment damaged. ➢Limited damage on the transport connections. !5 Chernivci, Lviv, Uzhgorod city and Zakarpatska !oblast • In each oblast, meetings with representatives of health departments were held and hospitals designated for COVID-19 were visited. • In each region, hospitals of regional, city and district subordination, as well as some specialized centers were visited. This made it possible to assess the situation and determine the needs of hospitals at different levels. • In each hospital, I tried to talk not only with representatives of the administration, but also with ordinary doctors and medical personnel. • Also, when communicating with the health authorities, I always took contacts and received prior consent to receive information in the future. !6 !Ivano-Frankivsk city and oblast Paramedic point (FAP) during and after the flood.

When you try to put on this mask, the attachments on it immediately come off (Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital) Poor quality mask. !13 ! Infection prevention and control (IPC) Some healthcare facilities are located in rooms that are absolutely not suitable for this, which makes it very difficult for IPC measures. Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Phthisiopulmonology Center. Parquet floor in COVID-19 department !14 ! Infection prevention and control (IPC) These "boxes" are more like a stable or prison cells. This impression is not far from the truth: one of the infectious diseases rooms there used to be a stable more than 150 years ago. This building is completely unsuitable for the treatment of any patients, especially with infectious diseases. Illusion of isolation does not prevent the risk of infection: for all needs patients are forced to go into the common space. The toilet in the department is only one and there is only one water tap. Patients are often in this department for more than 2 weeks and are forced to use wet wipes for personal hygiene because there is no shower or bathroom. It is almost impossible to create an effective IPC system in the existing conditions. There is no clear division into red and green zones, etc. Therefore, this «infectious disease department» has created ideal conditions for nosocomial infections of patients and medical staff. Chernivtsi Regional Clinical Hospital. Infectious Diseases Department. The so-called "boxes" !15 !Key Findings and Recommendations 1.The situation in the Western Ukraine regions is tense, but stable and represent a complex of systemic problems. Lviv, Zakarpattya and Chernivtsi oblast are among the worst affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. These three regions accounting for up to 30% of the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ukraine. 2.The flood impact in some regions of Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv oblast has been exacerbated by COVID-19 outbreak. But the flooding has not disrupted health services’ provision. The locations that were cut off remained accessible with support of the State Emergency Service, and access to the 17 paramedic points (FAP) and 1 hospital which were flooded was shortly resumed. 3.The provision of hospitals with medicines and medical equipment is generally satisfactory. There is a small shortage of PPE and some medical equipment in some hospitals (patient ventilators, OC, etc.). This problem is being solved both with the help of state and hospital purchases, and with the help of volunteers. At the same time, there is a big problem with old and non-functional equipment and with the rational use of new equipment. 4.Most cases of COVID-19 infections in health care workers have occurred outside the workplace. Very often, these are familial foci of infection that can be identified. But in some departments there are big problems with IPC measures, which may explain the high incidence of healthcare workers in these facilities. !16 !Key Findings and Recommendations 5. The testing capacity for COVID-19 has considerably improved. However, there are still problems with access to tests, long waiting times for results and the possibility of incorrect results (especially in small laboratories in some hospitals). 6. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in healthcare facilities continue to be limited and require improvement. Most critical gaps include: lack of systematic trainings, inadequate Healthcare- Associated Infections

  • Territorial Structure of the West-Ukrainian Region Settling System
    Słupskie Prace Geograficzne 8 • 2011 Vasyl Dzhaman Yuriy Fedkovych National University Chernivtsi (Ukraine) TERRITORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE WEST-UKRAINIAN REGION SETTLING SYSTEM STRUKTURA TERYTORIALNA SYSTEMU ZASIEDLENIA NA TERYTORIUM ZACHODNIEJ UKRAINY Zarys treści : W artykule podjęto próbę charakterystyki elementów struktury terytorialnej sys- temu zasiedlenia Ukrainy Zachodniej. Określono zakres organizacji przestrzennej tego systemu, uwzględniając elementy społeczno-geograficzne zachodniego makroregionu Ukrainy. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań należy stwierdzić, że struktura terytorialna organizacji produkcji i rozmieszczenia ludności zachodniej Ukrainy na charakter radialno-koncentryczny, co jest optymalnym wariantem kompozycji przestrzennej układu społecznego regionu. Słowa kluczowe : system zaludnienia, Ukraina Zachodnia Key words : settling system, West Ukraine Problem Statement Improvement of territorial structure of settling systems is among the major prob- lems when it regards territorial organization of social-geographic complexes. Ac- tuality of the problem is evidenced by introducing of the Territory Planning and Building Act, Ukraine, of 20 April 2000, and the General Scheme of Ukrainian Ter- ritory Planning Act, Ukraine, of 7 February 2002, both Acts establishing legal and organizational bases for planning, cultivation and provision of stable progress in in- habited localities, development of industrial, social and engineering-transport infra- structure ( Territory Planning and Building ... 2002, General Scheme of Ukrainian Territory ... 2002). Initial Premises Need for improvement of territorial organization of productive forces on specific stages of development delineates a circle of problems that require scientific research. 27 When studying problems of settling in 50-70-ies of the 20 th century, national geo- graphical science focused the majority of its attention upon separate towns and cit- ies, in particular, upon limitation of population increase in big cities, and to active growth of mid and small-sized towns.

  • One Ukraine Or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences
    Nationalities Papers, Vol. 32, No. 1, March 2004 One Ukraine or Many? Regionalism in Ukraine and Its Political Consequences Lowell W. Barrington & Erik S. Herron Intra-state regional differences are a central topic in the study of European and Eurasian politics. In Ukraine, regional differences have proven to be powerful predictors of mass attitudes and political behavior. But what does the “regional factor” in Ukrainian politics represent? Is it simply the result of compositional effects, or are the regional differences more than just a sum of other demographic factors correlated with geographic divisions? When analyzing regional divisions as an explanatory variable, what are the implications of employing different regional frameworks? In this article, we demonstrate how geographic divisions in the country hold up even when others factors—such as ethnicity and language use—are con- trolled for. As part of this inquiry, we compare the results of three competing regional frameworks for Ukraine: one with two regions, one with four regions and one with eight regions. While the eight-region framework is uncommon in studies of Ukraine, the decision to examine eight regions is supported by historical, economic and demographic arguments, as well as by the results of the statistical analyses presented in this article. Scholars who have focused on fewer regions in Ukraine may have underestimated the effects of regional differences and missed interesting stories about intra-state variation in Ukrainian attitudes and voting behavior. The results of this study carry important implications not only for the study of Ukraine but also for those interested in intra-state regional divisions across Europe and Eurasia.
