THE ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY IN SHAPING PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The All-Ukrainian Association of Public Health Specialists, established in Ukraine, has brought together over 4,500 representatives from the practical public health system, leading researchers from the country’s universities, and non-governmental organizations working in the field of public health. Within just six months of its establishment under the auspices of the Association, efforts have commenced to develop recommendations and project programs for government authorities on pertinent issues related to the functioning of Ukraine’s public health system.
