Health Care Associated Infections (HCAI) present a worldwide health challenge, yet the situation regarding HCAI in Ukraine has not been extensively examined. This study aimed to evaluate the reported prevalence of HCAI in Ukraine between 2009-2022. Data from the "Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" was scrutinized. Yearly, an approximate 4109 HCAI cases have been documented. By age demographics, the 2009-2022 average was 75.8±6.6% for adults and 24.2±6.3% for individuals aged 0-17. It's projected that the minimum annual HCAI cases in Ukraine surpass 1 million, with the reported rate being less than 0.1%.
