“Ukraine Passes New Bills to Streamline Military Medical Commission Process”

According to draft law No. 9154, military medical commissions can be created at state and municipal healthcare institutions. Previously, such commissions were located only at healthcare institutions of the Ministry of Defense, the Security Service of Ukraine and other military formations, as well as the State Information Protection Service.

Bill No. 9158 makes it easier for military personnel to issue a certificate of the circumstances of the injury (wounds, contusions, injuries). The process of processing and sending medical documents between military units and healthcare institutions is also being improved.

It is expected that the bills will reduce the queues and remove unnecessary bureaucracy during the passage of the VVK.

Ukraine will improve the process of passing the VVK

Ukraine plans to gradually speed up and improve the process of passing the military medical commission.

Improving the process of passing the VVK provides for:

• increase in the network of IHCs due to their additional deployment in civilian healthcare institutions;
• separate financing of payment for the services of medical workers involved in medical examinations to assess the degree of suitability for military service;
• introduction of an electronic queue for recording at the VVK, electronic document management between military units, TCC SP and healthcare institutions;
• involvement of health care institutions from the system of the Ministry of Defense to work with the ESOS (electronic health system). Healthcare institutions from the system of the Ministry of Defense will have access to a person’s history, in particular in an electronic medical record;
• introduction of modern approaches to service during the passage of VVK (accessible and convenient service);
• implementation of information support (hotline) and the introduction of information products that will help the military get help.

To pass the military medical commission, it is necessary to prepare certain documents. Full list at the link.
