Ukraine Health-Emergency!

According to information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ukrinmedstrach was “created for the purpose of developing a state program to ensure that foreign citizens receive high-quality emergency medical assistance in Ukraine.”

In other words, the program primarily guarantees that any visitor to the Ukraine will have continuing access to the public health system in emergency cases and, secondly, it ensures that the facilities rendering emergency care are compensated for their services.

The Ukrainian parliament passed a law in 1997 requiring all visitors in the Ukraine to obtain mandatory health insurance from the state joint-stock insurance company, Ukrinmedstrach. This is done at the point of entry.
