The Ministry of Health launches mobile medical teams for frontline territories: how it works

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has tested a new model of medical teams to provide medical services in de-occupied and frontline territories. The pilot deployment of medical teams took place in Chernihiv region, where more than a thousand consultations and examinations were conducted in one day.

'Bringing medical assistance closer to residents of communities near the border or affected by hostilities is an important task for us. Therefore, we are creating a new model of mobile assistance — flexible, interregional, combining resources from the state, local authorities, and partners. Chernihiv region has become the first area where this model is already being implemented in practice,' said Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko.

In Chernihiv district, medical visits were made to four communities, where residents received consultations, examinations, and the opportunity to obtain medications. In total, 565 people received medical assistance, and more than 1,300 examinations revealed suspicions of various diseases, such as tuberculosis, lung cancer, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C.

The Ukrainian government has begun testing a new model of medical teams to provide medical assistance in de-occupied and frontline territories. Medical teams are already successfully operating in Chernihiv region, where residents received the necessary help and treatment. Analyzing the results of this program will help improve medical services in hard-to-reach regions of the country.
