This week Ukraine’s parliament will vote on sweeping health care reform. If passed, the reform will modernize the country’s Soviet-era health care system and bring it up to international standards.

If the bill fails, then Ukrainians will likely have to wait until after the next presidential election in 2019 to see any positive changes.
