The Ministry of Health explained the main norms stipulated by the law on mobilization, which relate to medicine. This is reported by UNN with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Health.
Law №3633-IX on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts Regarding Certain Issues of Military Service, Mobilization and Military Registration comes into force May 18.
Part of the adopted changes directly concerns the medical system: the work of the military medical commission, medical examinations, verification of the decisions of the medical and social expert commission and deferral from conscription.
How the norms related to the medical field have changed
The Ministry of Health indicated that the document enshrines at the legislative level the obligation of citizens to undergo a medical examination to determine their fitness for military service.
For citizens who have obtained medical and/or psychological education, the possibility is introduced during the period of martial law to undergo military service under a contract for a period of one year.
It also provides for a remote military medical commission for servicemen who are being treated abroad - to determine the need for long-term treatment.
In addition, the law clarifies the categories of those who are entitled to a deferral. So, a deferral is granted to:
- people with disabilities or, according to the conclusion of the military medical commission, temporarily unfit for military service for health reasons;
- those who constantly care for sick family members (wife/husband, child and/or their father or mother (father or mother of the wife/husband, if she herself cannot provide such care under certain circumstances);
- those who have a husband or wife with disability group I, II or III, provided that it was acquired as a result of certain diseases;
- family members of the second and third degree of kinship of a person with disability group I or II, engaged in constant care for him, provided that there are no other family members who can provide such care;
- students who study in full-time or dual form of education and obtain a level of education that is higher than the previously obtained level, as well as doctoral students and persons enrolled in an internship.
The document also provides for the verification of decisions of the medical and social expert commission (MSEC). This refers to a repeated check for men aged 25 to 50 who, after February 24, 2022, until the date of entry into force of the law (May 18, 2024), were first diagnosed with disability groups I and III.
The exceptions are those who acquired disability groups I and III:
- in order of increasing/decreasing the disability group and/or as a result of diseases;
- due to injuries (traumas, concussions, mutilations) sustained during the defense of Ukraine;
- due to the absence of a limb, hands (hand), feet (foot), one of the paired organs;
- as a result of oncological disease, intellectual disabilities or mental disorders, cerebral palsy or other paralytic syndromes;
- due to disability from childhood.
The Ministry of Health stated that it is not necessary for all people who have established status after February 24, 2024 to appear independently for a repeated examination.
We emphasize separately that men aged 25-50 who received a disability group for the first time after February 24, 2022, do NOT need to appear independently for a re-examination of the MSEC at this time.
