The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a mechanism by which medical workers employed in rural areas can obtain official housing.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the procedure by which the state provides official housing to doctors and other medical workers employed in villages.

Step 1: The medical professional chooses housing, submits an application for purchase and a package of documents to the medical institution where they work;

Step 2: After a multi-level check and approval, a response will be received. In case of refusal, deficiencies can be corrected and the application for housing purchase can be resubmitted;

Step 3: If the decision is positive, the package of documents is transferred to the structural unit of healthcare in the region, and then to the Ministry of Health;

Step 4: In case of final approval by the Ministry of Health, the institution concludes a housing purchase and sale agreement;

The housing chosen by the medical professional must meet the following criteria:

• be located in the same settlement as the medical professional's primary place of work, or within 30 km of it (for example, in a district center, excluding regional centers, Kyiv, temporarily occupied territories, or combat zones);

• the seller has all documents for it, and the ownership right is registered in the State Register of Property Rights;

• the housing is appraised by an independent appraiser, and the report is registered in the Unified Database of Appraisal Reports no later than 6 months before the appraisal date.
