UNICEF has saved $17 million for Ukraine in procurement of vaccines using the funds of the 2016 national budget, Deputy Health Minister Oleksandr Linchevsky said at a government meeting on Wednesday.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said that the funds will be sent to buy new medicines.
"If not for the new procurement system via international organizations no one would save any kopeck. This $17 million would be distributed to the pockets of various businessmen who for years made money off this. This $17 million will go to procure new medicines for Ukrainian citizens," he said.
