Ulana Nadia Suprun (Ukrainian: ????? ????? ??????, romanized: Ulyana Nadiya Suprun; née Jurkiw (?????, Yurkiv); born 30 January 1963) is a Ukrainian-American physician, activist, and philanthropist who served as the acting Minister of Healthcare from 2016 to 2019.
Prior to her government career, Suprun served as Director of Humanitarian Initiatives for the Ukrainian World Congress. Suprun is the founder of the nongovernmental organization Patriot Defence, which is devoted to developing tactical and emergency medical care in Ukraine.
After moving from the United States to Ukraine in 2013, she was appointed Director of the School of Rehabilitation Medicine at Ukrainian Catholic University and became a freelance consultant for the Committee on Health of the Verkhovna Rada in 2015.
On 22 July 2016, she was nominated Deputy Minister of Healthcare by Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman; the nomination was supported by President Petro Poroshenko and confirmed by the Cabinet of Ministers.
A week after taking office as Deputy Minister, Suprun was elevated to acting Minister of Healthcare due to the position's longstanding vacancy. Suprun and her husband were awarded Ukrainian citizenship by Poroshenko shortly before her appointment as Deputy Minister; she has retained her American citizenship as well, although dual citizenship is not recognized in Ukraine.
