The author correctly restates Ukraine’s Ministry of Health’s (MoH) efforts and rapid responses taken as Russia invaded Ukraine, 1 including rapidly transferring medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) to safer locations, manually distributing MOUD to sites inaccessible by transportation routes and allowing a 30-day supply of MOUD. 2, 3 These rapid, unprecedented responses were the result of a functioning and responsible government that urgently passed legislation and enacted new guidelines to meet public health needs. We commend these efforts.All content published related to innovations in collaboration between governmental and private MOUD clinics in Kharkiv, however, remains accurate. 3 It represents a specific, but critical time in the war and is supported by extensive interviews, participation on regular MoH conference calls, in-depth review of Kharkiv data, and weekly Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) coaching calls. As MoH enacted MOUD policy, NIATx has collaborated to help guide MOUD scale-up since 2014. Synergy between NIATx and MoH to achieve scale-up goals continues. 4 As observed using a bundle of implementation tools from NIATx, Ukraine’s successful experience adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic helped improve the country’s emergency preparedness response so that its MOUD providers could act promptly during war. The government’s urgently enacted policies during the pandemic unknowingly supported subsequent rapid enrolment of new patients and better treatment retention using NIATx with no increase in mortality. At that vulnerable time, such policies were implemented successfully despite concerns from addiction specialists regarding the risks of diversion, overdose, and dropout. 5
