Health Care System
Ukraine's healthcare system is state subsidized and freely available to all Ukrainian citizens, registered Students and registered residents. However, it is not compulsory to be treated in a state-run hospital as a number of private medical complexes do exist nationwide.The public sector employs most healthcare professionals, with those working for private medical centers typically also retaining their state employment as they are mandated to provide care at public health facilities on a regular basis.
All the country's medical service providers and hospitals are subordinate to the Ministry of Health, which provides oversight and scrutiny of general medical practice as well as being responsible for the day to day administration of the healthcare system
