Some doctors will lose their reservation from mobilization: The Ministry of Health is preparing lists

The Ministry of Defense has sent a request to the Ministry of Health to disarm certain healthcare workers. As a result, some doctors may lose their armor due to mobilization. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry, "Komersant Ukrainian" informs

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine held a working meeting with Minister Viktor Lyashko and heads of health departments of regional administrations. The meeting participants discussed urgent issues of organizing the work of the medical system in the regions, including the staffing situation in the healthcare sector.

One of the key topics was the issue of healthcare workers’ unemployment. As you know, since the beginning of the year, the Government has allowed 100% of healthcare workers in state and municipal healthcare facilities, public health institutions, blood centers and forensic medical and forensic psychiatric examination institutions to be booked, provided that this is their main place of work.

However, in order to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the defense sector, the Ministry of Healthcare is working with the Ministry of Defense and the Command of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to develop a mechanism for disarming certain specialists. According to the Minister, an official request has already been received to identify such personnel.

“Currently, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has received a request from the Ministry of Defense and the Command of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the ministry said.

The Ministry of Health specialists, in coordination with the health departments, are holding consultations to form the lists for disarmament.

The meeting also covered other aspects of the functioning of medical institutions in the regions during the war. The Ministry of Health promised to promptly inform about further decisions on staffing both in the rear and on the front line.
