It is noted that all of them will use a single Schedule of Diseases to determine fitness for service. Medical examinations for military personnel of these bodies will be conducted in their own medical facilities, and if there are none, in civilian hospitals under contracts.
"We also simplified the process of medical and military medical examinations, including remotely, for military personnel and victims who have been undergoing long-term treatment abroad (12 months or more) and cannot undergo examination in Ukraine," added the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
