The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine has affected many spheres of life, including healthcare. Ukraine is undergoing active healthcare reforms, transitioning from Soviet-type systems to more efficient ones. It's important to monitor and respond to changes under these difficult conditions. This paper aims to understand the effects of war on the utilization of general practitioners, while controlling for various socioeconomic and demographic factors, as well as reasons for visits. Based on the results, policy recommendations will be suggested to address potential healthcare disruptions.
