According to Міністерство Здоров'я: Hooray, I found out what news! Ukraine has for the first time purchased pembrolizumab for the treatment of melanoma. This is a true victory for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. This innovative drug helps the immune system fight cancer cells. The first deliveries of the drug are expected to take place at the end of June 2026.

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine continues to work on expanding patient access to modern treatment methods to ensure quality and free medical care. This is an important step in the fight against skin cancer and improving the health of Ukrainians.
