Even during the war, it is important to monitor your health and consult a doctor. If you are safe, take care of yourself and don’t put off treatment until later.
Medical institutions continue to provide assistance to all those in need.
The Ministry of Health reports on how to make a free x-ray during the war.
- The need for fluorography is determined by the family doctor or your doctor. If necessary, he will create an electronic or, in the absence of access to the electronic health system, a paper referral for examination.
- If you have changed your place of residence, you can go to the primary care doctor at the hospital in your current place of residence and get help and, if necessary, a referral for an x-ray.
- If the patient is referred for fluorography, such an examination can be carried out in outpatient clinics that provide outpatient care and have the necessary equipment.
- With a referral, you need to come to a medical institution that provides assistance on an outpatient basis under an agreement with the National Health Service of Ukraine. The address of the institution will be prompted by the operator of the contact center NSZU 16-77.
- You need to ask about the possibility of doing fluorography at the institution itself, specifying whether the necessary equipment and specialists are there. The contacts of all medical institutions are publicly available on their websites or pages of local authorities.
- If you need fluorography during treatment in a hospital, it will be carried out without additional referrals and payments.
The Ministry of Health has also prepared an information monument on:
- how to avoid the spread of infectious diseases if you are in a temporary shelter;
- What to look out for when setting up a safe place of refuge.
