Due to a hostile attack 18, the stable operation of the electronic health care system (ECZS) has ceased, and Helsi app users report widespread outages. Doctors temporarily cannot issue certain electronic prescriptions, referrals, and medical conclusions. Patient medical data, however, remain stored and protected. Specialists are already working on restoring the system's operation.
Technical difficulties were reported directly in the Helsi app, as well as by the National Health Service of Ukraine. According to the developers, the hostile attack caused an emergency in the data center of one of the providers, affecting the operation of the entire electronic health care system.
"Because of the hostile attack, there may be delays in issuing and obtaining electronic prescriptions and referrals. Your data are preserved. Specialists are already working on restoring the ECZS operation," says Helsi in their message.
The company emphasized that delays in document processing are not dependent on a specific doctor or medical facility—the problem is systemic and affects the entire country. Patients waiting for a prescription or referral are advised to check with their doctor how to proceed during the temporary unavailability of the system. If a person has a planned visit to a doctor, do not cancel it because of this message—the medical facilities have a separate workflow for cases of ECZS unavailability. Further updates on the system's restoration will be provided.
The medical system is operating under pressure from ongoing attacks on infrastructure.
The ECZS outage occurred amid a series of hostile strikes on critical and civilian infrastructure, which in recent weeks regularly disrupt services—from energy to the logistics of medical supplies. Damage to data centers and server equipment as a result of the attacks creates risks not only for electronic document circulation but also for the continuous supply of medicines to the population.
Simultaneously with the ECZS problems, the pharmaceutical sector continues to adapt to the consequences of strikes on warehouses and production facilities. Pharmacy chains are building up extra stocks, and distributors are restructuring logistics routes to avoid shortages of critically important medicines for chronic patients.
Earlier Informator reported that Ukraine is forecast to experience drug supply disruptions due to shelling by the Russian Federation, and stockpiles of certain drugs in pharmacies may last only two to three weeks. We also wrote that specialists commented on a drug shortage in Ukraine due to strikes on pharmaceutical warehouses, noting that there is no overall shortage, but temporary difficulties with certain items due to logistics restructuring.
