Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe and the 22nd largest in the world. The population is estimated at 45.8 million in 2009. Ukraine aspires to join the EU, but currently Brussels will only consider negotiating agreements on free trade and visa facilitation. Relations with Russia remain complex; they have become more aggravated by Ukraine’s dependence on gas imports from the federation and recent price hikes.
Healthcare funding in Ukraine is largely through taxation. However, a system of public healthcare insurance has been under discussion since at least 1996. Government health expenditure is very low, even by Eastern European standards. Ukraine spends around 7.0% of GDP on healthcare, which is one of the lowest levels in Europe. Healthcare should be free for the whole population, but due to a lack of funding, patients are usually forced to make under-the-table payments.
In 2008, the Ukrainian market for medical equipment and supplies was estimated at US$394 million, or US$9 per capita. It is expected that the device market will continue to expand at a rate of 5.1% per annum. This will take the Ukrainian market to US$514 million, equal to US$11 per capita by 2013.
Around 90% of the medical device market is supplied by imports. The USA and Germany were the leading suppliers in 2006, accounting for almost 40% of imports. Although domestic producers struggle to compete with Western manufacturers in terms of product quality, exports to the EU-15 are gradually increasing.
