Baku, Kyiv plan to sign roadmap on healthcare cooperation, official says
Ukraine and Azerbaijan plan to sign a roadmap on cooperation in the field of healthcare within the next three months, Ukrainian Health Minister Viktor Liashko said.
He made the remarks during the session titled "Bilateral pharma talk - From Dialogue to Cooperation: Pharmaceutical Opportunities of Ukraine and Azerbaijan" held as part of the 27th Azerbaijan International Medical Innovations Exhibition (Medinex 2025), Caliber.Az reports via local media.
Liashko noted that a roadmap is expected to be developed within three months based on the outcomes of the talks, and that the implementation of the agreements is anticipated within a year.
The minister underscored the importance of active engagement between the two sides and urged the practical realisation of the commitments reached.
Liashko also emphasised that the Ukrainian people are grateful to Azerbaijan for its humanitarian support since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
He called for continued cooperation with Ukraine despite the ongoing war, stressing that “we want to create conditions for Ukrainian companies to enter the local market, as well as a hub in Ukraine that would allow Azerbaijani companies to access European markets.”
According to the minister, cooperation between Azerbaijan and Ukraine in the field of medicine should be built on the basis of a strategic partnership.
“When collaboration is built as a true partnership, we find points of convergence that benefit both countries – Ukraine and Azerbaijan,” he said, noting that he will also meet with Azerbaijan’s ministers of economy and health to discuss further steps to deepen bilateral cooperation.
