In Ukraine, HIV, and cancer pose a serious public health challenge with high mortality rates and issues related to early detection, access to treatment, and palliative care. Additionally, Ukraine is experiencing the challenges of war, which exacerbates obstacles in treating HIV and oncological diseases due to limitations in healthcare funding, infrastructure, and access to modern treatment options.
The military conflict impacts healthcare services and delivery in several ways, including the destruction of healthcare facilities, displacement of populations, and disruption of healthcare supply chains. This situation makes it more difficult for patients to receive the necessary care and for healthcare providers to maintain continuity of services.
In Nigeria, the case is not much better, even though there is no war. There is a stigma attached to HIV making the affected population hide and spread the virus. The treatment is mostly provided by external donors which makes it difficult to cover the large population. The healthcare system is far from efficient. The health insurance is quasi non-existent. We have a very long way to being able to control the epidemic
