Background. The russian aggression in Ukraine has caused numerous casualties among civilians, including children. Military actions lead directly or indirectly to increased morbidity in adults and children and to chronic stress, especially in children. The purpose of this research was to analyze the problems of providing medical assistance to the children of Ukraine who are suffering from the russian invasion. Materials and methods. We have used the official statistical and own data for 2022–2023. Results. Currently, more than 7.5 million Ukrainian children are suffering from the war, not only due to physical injuries but also violations of their mental and psycho-emotional state. A special problem for Ukrainian paediatricians at the beginning of 2023 was an increase in the incidence of acute respiratory diseases, COVID-19 and stress disorders in children due to a shortage of medical personnel and infrastructure. Also, in conditions of limited access to medical care and medicines, it is necessary to pay attention to chronic diseases, in particular, asthma and other allergic diseases. Paediatricians from the departments of the Bogomolets National Medical University provided voluntary assistance to children in frontline regions. Conclusions. In the new conditions of warfare, where civilians and life support infrastructure have become the target of armed attacks, children have become the most vulnerable group. The issues of restoration of full medical care for children, including emergency and urgent care, provision with doctors of certain paediatric specialties, full supply of medicines and medical devices, and restoration of destroyed medical infrastructure remain extremely relevant to the health system in the frontline and liberated areas.

Background. Ukraine is currently experiencing a rapid decline in fertility due to the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law. The purpose was to study birth rate fluctuations and changes in the structure of early neonatal morbidity and mortality at Kyiv City Maternity Hospital 6 during the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law and to compare the obtained findings with national statistical data. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis and assessment of birth rate fluctuations, early neonatal morbidity, and mortality were carried out for 2020–2022 using both the health care industry statistics and the data obtained from Kyiv City Maternity Hospital 6. Results. Increased morbidity and high psycho-emotional stress levels among pregnant women contributed to a more frequent occurrence of neonatal disorders associated primarily with intrauterine hypoxia and perinatal infection. The improvements in newborn care and concurrent reduction in the preterm birth rate at the maternity hospital providing level II perinatal care services have been associated with a decreased rate of early neonatal mortality over the past three years. Conclusions. The use of modern fetal monitoring technologies, the timely diagnosis and treatment of perinatal pathology, and improvements in the organization of newborn care help preserve child health and prevent mortality.

Certification of graduates of the Faculty of Medicine 2 of the National Medical University (NMU) in pediatric disciplines was conducted by the Department of Pediatrics 2 at the objective structured practical (clinical) exam 2 (OSP(C)E-2) station “Initial and resuscitation care to a newborn child” on the basis of the Educational and Scientific Center of Medical Simulations of the NMU. The methodology that we introduced in 2022 in the Medical Education journal was presented and approved at the methodical meeting of the heads of departments of pediatrics of higher education institutions of Ukraine during the Sidelnikov readings. The data of an anonymous survey of graduates demonstrated that most respondents (93.4 % of domestic and 91.9 % of foreign ones) were satisfied with the volume of the station and its practical orientation. The students noted that during preparation to exam, this particular model of the station allows them to master, when using mannequins, manipulations according to the algorithm of initial and resuscitation care to a newborn child, which can be useful under various circumstances in wartime conditions. Out of 338 students of the Faculty of Medicine 2, 303 (89.6 %) passed the OSP(C)E-2 exam with an “excellent” grade, 32 (9.4 %) with a “good” grade, and 3 (0.9 %) with a “satisfactory” grade. The issue of optimality and adequacy of assessing only the skills in initial and resuscitation care to a newborn child at the OSP(C)E-2 exam remained debatable among teachers. This corresponds to the opinion of 8.1 % of domestic and 6.6 % of foreign students who believe that for perfection and objectivity of pediatric skills assessment, it would be desirable to introduce one more pediatric station for the OSP(C)E-2 exam with the involvement of a virtual a patient of a different age. Experience of certification in pediatric disciplines of higher education graduates majoring in 222 “medicine” specialty at the Bogomolets National Medical University, both teachers and students, testified to its effectiveness and objectivity in assessing the special competencies of graduates in providing resuscitation care to a newborn child.
