Understanding health needs of Ukrainian refugees and displaced populations
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) advocates for access to free
healthcare as their highest priority during times of crisis.2,3 European Union countries have adopted resolutions of the EU Council that refugees should receive the same rights to healthcare as citizens of that country. Similar policies apply to some European countries outside of the EU (e.g., the United Kingdom). However, policy does not always translate into practice, and there have been noted frustrations from refugees and displaced people about their inability to access healthcare. The health system available to internally displaced populations within Ukraine is fragmented and under resourced, impacted further by numerous direct attacks on health facilities

Similar policies apply to some European countries outside of the EU (e.g., the United Kingdom). However, policy does not always translate into practice, and there have been noted frustrations from refugees and displaced people about their inability to access healthcare.
