Ukrainians Aged 40 and Over to Receive 2,000 Hryvnias for Health Screenings

Government Support for Health Screenings

According to ХВИЛЯ: Under updated regulations, Ukrainian citizens who are at least 40 years old can now apply for a 2,000 hryvnia state grant to cover health screening costs. Applications can be submitted via the Diia online portal or through PrivatBank. Importantly, the funds are provided in a non-cash form, are credited within seven days, and must be spent within two months.

The Health Screening program allocates 2,000 hryvnias for medical check-ups at a chosen healthcare facility. Applicants no longer need to wait until their birthday to apply; simply turning 40 is sufficient. To apply online through Diia, users must have a Diia.Card, which can be opened at one of five banks:

• PrivatBank
• Sense Bank
• monobank
• Kredit Dnipro
• A-Bank

Offline applications are only accepted at PrivatBank. The received funds can only be used online; cash withdrawal is not permitted.

Programs for Veterans and Social Assistance

Additionally, starting July 1, 2026, the Veterans' Sports program will launch, providing veterans with 1,500 hryvnias per quarter for sports activities. A revamped basic social assistance package is also being developed, which will replace approximately five existing payments, with calculations based on a baseline of 4,500 hryvnias.

The introduction of the Health Screening program is part of the state's efforts to support public health, particularly for older adults. It aims to facilitate early disease detection and improve overall citizen health. Meanwhile, the Veterans' Sports program and the updated social assistance reflect the government's commitment to supporting not only the elderly but also veterans, underscoring the importance of social policy in Ukraine.

In addition to the health screening initiative, the government is also launching various support programs aimed at enhancing the well-being of different demographics. For example, starting July 1, 2026, veterans will benefit from a new sports program offering quarterly financial support for their athletic pursuits.
