DISINFO: The Ukrainian Health Ministry will no longer help cancer patients

SUMMARY

The Ukrainian Health Ministry will no longer help cancer patients.

RESPONSE

The Ministry of Health responded to this fake story with a statement explaining that Ukraine was not ending financing the cancer programs, quite the opposite. Financing for cancer medicines for 2017 was sizably increased and the Ministry’s cancer support was simply changing its name from program to measures. More details from StopFake
