Health Service in
Ukraine - Охорона здоров’я
в Україні
In Ukraine medical help is available in hospitals,
polyclinics, and also in medical centre’s in such places as factories and
schools. Health service is based on local therapeutists as
they are the first who diagnose. Some certain district is appointed to a polyclinic
and this district is divided into several areas. Each area is appointed to a certain therapeutist. All the people who live in that area visit their
appointed doctor. Average number of people, visiting their doctor
every day, is 20—25, but when there is an epidemic of influenza, this number
is 50—60 people a day. There is a problem which is nowadays widely discussed, that a person him-or herself can choose the doctor he or she wants to visit. A person can call his local therapeutist so that the doctor will come and see his patient. A therapeutist examines a patient, assigns some treatment, prescribes some medicines and gives a medical certificate.
In a hospital there is also a therapeutic department, where pneumonia, bronchitis or asthma are treated. There also exists a wide network of ambulance service in Ukraine.
It was founded in Kharkiv in 1905. Nowadays there are a lot of fee-paying clinics where one can get any kind of medical help. Many of them are specialized: dentist offices, optician centre’s, etc.
There also exist some medical associations in Ukraine, such as Ukrainian Diabetes Association.
About 1 million people in Ukraine suffer from this disease. There people can get medical help or medicines free of charge.
