No “limitedly fit”: The Ministry of Health explained the new rules of mobilization
Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Health explained that the diagnosis of “limitedly fit” used in peacetime was abolished, and now there are only “fit” and “unfit” categories for military service during martial law.
"Limitedly fit" was a diagnosis that functioned in peacetime. The main word was "fit," and "limitedly fit" was a matter of determining where a person should be drafted, what function he or she could perform in the ranks of the Armed Forces. Now this issue is simply more clearly regulated. This was announced by the Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko in an interview on the air of the telethon, the correspondent of UNN reports.
When we talk about military medical commissions, we need to understand why this is done. This is not a total screening of men between the ages of 25 and 60. The issue is that this is the determination of certain health indicators that are necessary for the military to understand where to send a person to fulfill his constitutional duty during martial law in the country

Now this issue is simply more clearly regulated and "unfit" is defined, that is, the military, in consultation with doctors, has determined certain states of illness when a person will not be able to help in the Armed Forces," explained Lyashko.
He also said that the military, in consultation with doctors, determined the conditions, said that the person was "fit," but there was fit plus at least four more breakdowns that the military has today, which they say: "Yes, you are fit, you will be an assault pilot. If you're fit, you'll work in the TCC, if you're fit, you'll work in the logistics forces.
"That is, people are needed everywhere. And I don't see any crisis here, so I personally support this," Lyashko said.
Addendum
On April 2, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed Law No. 10313 on ensuring the rights of military and police officers to social protection. The document also abolishes the status of "limitedly fit", and now there are only two categories: "fit" and "unfit" for military service.
During mobilization or martial law, the validity period of a certificate with a conclusion on fitness for military service is one year.
