There are gaps in primary care in prevention and control of ncds, despite its importance and work done by the system to overcome the epidemy of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and oncology diseases in Ukraine. nevertheless, mortality rate from these pathologies remains high, showing a systemic fracture in patient group management system and lack of attention to prevention and financial support. As a result, unhealthy lifestyle practices lead to a high level of CVD spread. the number of neglected cases of diabetes and their complications caused by uncontrolled disease courses remains high. Oncology treatment spending from the government and patient budget remains an acute problem.
