The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the National Action Plan for 2026-2028 to improve the quality of life of people with dementia, defining systemic steps of the state to strengthen the prevention, early detection, treatment, care and support of people with dementia and their families.
This is the first such plan in Ukraine and is intended to create a model of assistance that combines medical and social com-ponents, including medical care, social services, psychosocial support and protection of the rights and interests of people with dementia. The plan provides for the development of approaches to the early detection of cognitive impairment, strength-ening the role of primary health care, expanding access to necessary medicines and medical services, as well as the intro-duction of mechanisms for interaction between health care and social protection institutions. Special attention is paid to the support of people who care for patients, as well as raising public awareness of dementia.
The implementation of the plan will last until 2028 and provides for the gradual changes to provide more affordable, high-quality and continuous assistance.
