As a general rule, a person with a disability is not required to notify the employer of the established disability either upon hiring or subsequently, if the disability is established during employment.

According to Article 286 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, a natural person (patient) has the right to secrecy about his state of health, the fact of seeking medical help, diagnosis, as well as information obtained during his medical examination.
