Nataliia Khanyk is an Associate Professor at the Department of Organization and Economics of Pharmacy at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University. She obtained her Ph.D. in 2009 with a dissertation focused on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of rheumatic joint diseases.

Prior to 2022, her research in Ukraine concentrated on pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomic evaluations, and market analysis of pharmaceutical products. She conducted extensive studies on the accessibility and cost of pharmacotherapy for chronic diseases, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the assortment and pricing of essential medicines and diagnostic tests in Ukrainian pharmacies. Additionally, she explored consumer behavior in pharmaceutical markets and the competitiveness of various drug categories, including NSAIDs and anti-rheumatic medicines.

Since 2022, Khanyk has been a visiting researcher at the Department of Pharmacy at Uppsala University, supported by scholarships from Uppsala University (UFV 2022/1041) and the Wenner-Gren Foundation (GFU2022-0008, 2022–2023). Her research addresses healthcare access and continuity of care during crises, including the impact of war on long-term therapies and medication adherence. She has collaborated with the European Network to Advance Best Practices and Technology on Medication Adherence (ENABLE) and the RefuHealthAccess Study, and has contributed to the analysis of healthcare services for displaced persons in transit, using data from INTERSOS clinics at the Ukrainian borders with Moldova and Poland.

Her current research project examines access to non-emergency healthcare for Ukrainian war refugees in European countries, with a particular emphasis on Sweden. She focuses on how displaced individuals, especially those with chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, interact with and navigate healthcare systems in host countries.
