• How an organization from the non-government sector can develop the healthcare system: the experience of the Ukrainian Healthcare Center,
• Why the Ukrainian healthcare system needs to have a human resources register,
• The idea of creating the book “Reform of a healthy person. How Ukrainian medicine was treated”: why reflections are valuable,
• Experience in effective cooperation with international projects and donor support,
• How to implement “imperfect” changes: launch the main things and then work out the details,
• What students of medical universities lack,
• Where Natalia Riabtseva came from: professional and personal background.
