Abstract

AbstractAccording to WHO, Ukraine has the fourth‐highest Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in the WHO European region while globally has the fifth‐highest number of confirmed cases of extensively drug‐resistant TB. Before the Russian invasion in Ukraine several interventions have been employed to mitigate the TB epidemic in the country. However, the ongoing war has demolished meticulous efforts and subsequently worsen the situation. WHO in collaboration with the Ukraine government and other organizations such as EU and UK are required to take up arms against the situation. In this work, implications brought up from the war, efforts, and recommendations to battling TB epidemic due to the war are highlighted.
