Prime Minister of Ukraine presented Minister for Social Policy Andrii Reva

On Monday, April 18, Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has presented to the staff of the Ministry of Social Policy Minister of Ukraine Andrii Reva.

"We are going through a rather difficult time. How people can survive the challenges which almost every Ukrainian family faces today depends on your work, the quality of the social security system, the formation of social policy," said Volodymyr Groysman.

In this context, a special role is now assigned to the Ministry - "to provide care, ensure understanding of people, ensure proper service, minimize any queues and obstacles," stressed Volodymyr Groysman.

"We need to help those who require such assistance, and to do it efficiently and unobtrusively, on the other hand, to do everything in order to make this assistance as effective as possible," underlined the Prime Minister.

Volodymyr Groysman has noted that the Ministry also should carry out internal reform of the Ministry as well as reforms in social policy as a whole.

The Prime Minister has thanked previous Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko for the work done and informed that he will be still in charge of the Ministry of Social Policy as well as the Health Ministry and culture issues.

The Prime Minister has congratulated Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Andrii Reva on his appointment and wished him and his staff success in working together. "I put great hopes on your team. I am convinced that very soon the team will focus on implementing good initiatives and new tasks facing the country," said Volodymyr Groysman.
