Introduction. Objective: to study and analyze the impact of the war against Russian military aggression on the incidence of tuberculosis in the population of Ukraine. Materials and methods. Materials: sectoral statistical reporting data for 2020-2021 (pre-war period) and 2022-2023 (period of war against Russian military aggression). Statistical data are obtained from the territories controlled by Ukraine. The indicators are calculated per 100 thousand of the relevant population. Methods: bibliosemantic, epidemiological, medico-statistical, of structural-and-logical analysis. Results and their discussion. During the war in Ukraine, the increase of the incidence indicators was registered: in the adult population for all forms of active tuberculosis by 1.13 times and by 1.07 times for active tuberculosis of the respiratory organs and amounted to 45.3 and 41.0 respectively per 100 thousand of adult population; in the infant population for all forms of active tuberculosis by 1.59 times and 1.56 times for active tuberculosis of the respiratory organs and amounted to 11.1 and 9.8 respectively per 100 thousand of children. In the territories that belong to the zone of active hostilities a significant decrease in the registration of these indicators is found. So, in the Donetsk region, these indicators decreased to 3.49 times, and in the Kherson region – to 38.0 times. This indirectly indicates a decrease in the availability of medical care. In areas remote from the zone of active hostilities with a large number of internally displaced persons, a significant increase in the registration of these indicators is detected. So, in the Kirovohrad region, these indicators increased to 8.90 times, and in the Volyn region – to 4.73 times. Conclusions. The war against Russian military aggression has had a negative impact on the incidence of tuberculosis in Ukraine.
