HeRAMS Ukraine health services across oblasts - Legal entities (April 2026)

July 21, 2026 - 12:02

An infographic released by the World Health Organization on June 22, 2026, provides a detailed snapshot of the operational status of health service legal entities across Ukraine's oblasts for April 2026. The data, drawn from the Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS), maps the functionality and distribution of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities registered as legal entities.

The report highlights significant regional disparities in service availability, with frontline and recently contested areas showing higher rates of partial functionality or complete shutdown. In contrast, western oblasts report a higher proportion of fully operational entities, though many are absorbing displaced populations and increased patient loads. The infographic breaks down the data by oblast, showing the percentage of legal entities that are fully functional, partially functional, or non-functional due to damage, occupation, or logistical collapse.

Key findings indicate that while the overall number of registered legal entities remains stable, the proportion of those providing a full range of services has declined in five eastern oblasts compared to the previous quarter. The WHO notes that this trend threatens access to specialized care, including surgery and chronic disease management. The HeRAMS data is intended to guide humanitarian aid distribution and resource allocation, helping partners prioritize areas where health system resilience is weakest. The report underscores the ongoing strain on Ukraine's health infrastructure amid the prolonged conflict.
