Background:

Now in its fifth year, the war in Ukraine continues to place severe strain on the national health system, particularly in frontline and border oblasts such as Kharkivska, Donetska, Luhanska, Dnipropetrovska, Zaporizka, Khersonska, Mykolaivska, Odeska, Sumska, and Chernihivska. These areas face ongoing missile strikes and shelling, population displacement, service disruptions, and constrained access to lifesaving care. Since February 2022, nearly 5.6 million people have fled the country, while millions more remain affected inside Ukraine. By the last quarter of 2025, an estimated 6.9 million people were impacted, with 6.8 million requiring humanitarian assistance, predominantly in high-risk locations. Escalating hostilities in 2026, including intensified shelling and drone attacks, have triggered new evacuations in eastern and southern oblasts, further weakening already overstretched local health systems.

Ensuring the continuity of essential health services in these contexts is a central priority of the 2026 humanitarian response, particularly where government access is limited. Health Cluster partners aim to reach the most vulnerable populations, who are disproportionately affected by poor social determinants of health, including limited access to shelter, heating, water, and healthcare.
The Health Cluster serves as a coordination platform bringing together humanitarian organizations, government authorities, and partners to enable an effective and timely health response. Working closely with the Ministry of Health, regional Departments of Health, and the Centre for Disaster Medicine, partners deliver targeted and lifesaving health services where needs are greatest. To guide response planning and advocacy, WHO and the Health Cluster produce key public health information products, such as assessments, situation reports, Public Health Situation Analyses, infographics, and analytical briefs, based on the rapid collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data.

Within this context, the Information Analyst plays a critical role in strengthening the Health Cluster’s information management and analytical capacity.
