CHALLENGES OF THE PANDEMIC AND WAR: ASPECTS OF HEALTH AND MENTAL WELL-BEING-2030

Abstract

The article deals with challenges, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. Aspects of health and mental well-being 2030 are in the focus of the research. The major challenges in the healthcare systems through the prism of their resilience and emergence are examined. The study emphasises that the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the healthcare sector is possible through the application of the principle of universal access to healthcare services. This approach ensures the integration of Goal 3 "Good Health and Well-being" with other SDGs, namely: poverty eradication (SDG 1), economic growth and decent work for all (SDG 8), achieving inclusive and equitable education (SDG 4), equality and empowers women and girls (SDG 5), peace, justice and building strong institutions at the national and global levels (SDG 16). The Polish experience in organizing anti-epidemic measures to combat COVID-19 is described as a useful example for Ukraine because of the similarity of the initial conditions for the functioning of the healthcare industry at the national level. Considerable attention is paid to the healthcare system of Ukraine during the war, in particular, aspects of public administration. The data presented in the article are the legal acts of the UN and WHO and legal acts of the countries of the European region (Ukraine, Poland), which are freely available on the Internet.
