Background: This research scrutinizes Ukraine’s population health risk assessment system, which examines methodological approaches and also identities challenges like data accessibility and environmental risks.
Methods: PubMed was searched using a systematic approach for studies on health risk assessment, public health surveillance and related issues in Ukraine 2019-2024. Out of the 265 publications, only 20 of them satisfied the criteria used while nine were selected for further analysis.
Results: Ukraine's population health risk assessment system indicates that different studies used a variety of methods, such as cross-sectional surveys, case studies, and legal analyses. The most evident barriers were limitations of data access, diversity in policies, and deficiencies in health data protection mechanisms. Suggestions are made to improve data gathering mechanisms, regulatory frameworks and public health interventions. Proposed policy changes seek to tighten environmental controls, expand healthcare availability and deal with disease specific guidelines and societal disapproval.
Conclusion: Ukraine's health risk assessment system for population describes various research methodologies, main difficulties data availability environmental risks and suggests improving regulations and focusing health programs on for better public health consequences.
