Abstract

Introduction. The war against Russian full-scale military aggression has negatively affected the state of public health in Ukraine. Objective: to define the impact of the war against Russian full-scale military aggression on the incidence of infectious diseases among the civilian population of Ukraine. Materials and methods. Materials: generalized reports in form No. 1 of the Public Health Centre of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for the period 2020-2021 (pre-war period) and 2022–2025 (the period of war against Russian military aggression). Methods: bibliosemantic, medico-statistical, of structural-and-logical analysis. Results. In the course of the study, it was found that Ukraine’s war against Russian military aggression negatively affected the incidence of infectious diseases among the civilian population of the country. Such infectious diseases include: viral and haemorrhagic fevers with an increase by 44.5 times; haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome – 436 times; listeriosis – 12 times; leptospirosis – 1.86 times; Lyme disease – 2.46 times; measles – 5.69 times; viral hepatitis – 1.64 times; chronic viral hepatitis – 2.05 times; haemophilus infection – 3.2 times; influenza – 1.54 times; syphilis by 627 cases; infectious mononucleosis by 336 cases. Obtaining real indicators of the incidence of infectious diseases among the population of Ukraine is negatively affected by a decrease in the level of the population’s appeal for medical care. Conclusions. The war against Russian full-scale military aggression has negatively affected the incidence of certain infectious diseases among the civilian population of Ukraine. For a detailed study of this issue, it is planned to conduct a study in the context of the regions of Ukraine.
