The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has simplified the departure of wounded Ukrainian servicemen for treatment abroad, Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said.
“At one of the last government meetings, I voiced the clear priorities of our government in the field of veteran policy. One of these priorities is a reform of medical and social expert commissions and military medical commissions. Today we make a decision to facilitate the departure of our wounded soldiers for treatment abroad,” said Shmygal at the government meeting on Friday.
According to Prime Minister, now the military will be able to receive a referral for such treatment in the medical institution where they are being treated or rehabilitated.
According to the representative of the Cabinet in the Verkhovna Rada Taras Melnychuk in Telegram, changes have been made in the procedure for sending people from the components of the defense and security forces who suffered due to the military aggression of Russia against Ukraine, for treatment abroad.
In particular, it is allowed health institutions to independently determine the need to send defenders of Ukraine, suffered in connection with the military aggression of the Russian Federation, for treatment abroad and form a corresponding package of documents to the state body that is part of the security and defense sector without involving military-medical institutions in the procedure.
“Acceleration and optimization of the procedure will also be ensured by simplifying the preparation of an opinion on the necessity of sending a person from the constituents of the defense or security forces, suffered due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation, for treatment abroad,” Melnychuk wrote.
