I have a question about conscription and mobilization of nurses...?

Reservation of medical workers is carried out in accordance with the norms determined by Law No. 3543-XII, acts of the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which determine the procedure and organization of reservation, as well as lists of positions and professions of conscripts, which are subject to reservation for the period of mobilization and martial law.

In the event of the introduction of martial law, the reservation of conscripts may be carried out in accordance with the list provided by the relevant state authorities, other state bodies, local self-government bodies, enterprises, institutions and organizations, in accordance with Article 25 of Law No. 3543-XII.

The procedure for the reservation of conscripts by state authorities, other state bodies, as well as enterprises, institutions and organizations that meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations and the population is determined by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "Some issues of reservation of conscripts under the legal regime martial law" dated March 3, 2022 No. 194.

The algorithm for booking medical workers is as follows:

1. The enterprise compiles and forms a list of conscripts with justification, whom it plans to reserve.

2. The enterprise submits the prepared list to the relevant state body or state authority.

3. The body sends the lists to the Ministry of Economy.

4. The Ministry of Economy approves lists of reserved conscripts in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense.

5. At the end, they receive agreed lists containing the data of reserved military servicemen.

The decision of the Ministry of Economy indicates the validity period of the reservation, which cannot exceed six months.

Important: Reservations are made by government agencies, not medical institutions. Only those who meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, other military formations or the population to meet the needs of life can be booked.

If the health workers who were subject to reservation are released, their reservation will be automatically canceled.
