As of the 24th of February 2022, the war in Ukraine has increased the risk for infectious diseases outbreaks in the country and beyond. The disruption of healthcare services, the destruction of critical infrastructure, the displacement of millions of civilians and the crowded living conditions in bunkers pose a formiddable threat to public health. Infections are emphasized due to the low rates of vaccination against COVID-19 and the high prevalence of chronic infections such as Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS in Ukraine compared to the WHO Europe region. Collaboration between authorities and humanitatian organizations is necessary, in order to strengthen epidemiological surveillance and deploy vital resources that are required for the prevention and the management of infections.
截至2022年2月24日,乌克兰战争增加了该国及其他地区传染病爆发的风险。医疗服务中断、关键基础设施遭到破坏、数百万平民流离失所以及防空洞内拥挤的生活条件对公众健康构成了巨大威胁。由于乌克兰与世界卫生组织欧洲区域相比,新冠疫苗接种率较低,结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病等慢性感染患病率较高,感染问题备受关注。当局与人道主义组织之间的合作是必要的,以便加强流行病学监测并调配预防和管理感染所需的重要资源。
