During the 14 years Ukraine has been independent, no major improvements have taken place in the organization of health services, mostly due to the lack of public funding. On the part of the state, there are no guarantees concerning rendering free-of-charge medical aid. Due to the lack of funding, a major part of old medical equipment which should be replaced is still in use. In many settlements in the countryside, especially in the remote places, there are no medical ambulance stations where it would be possible to receive the first aid. A high level of the diseases of the population is related to smoking and alcohol abuse, especially among children and young people. Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS are also spreading.
