Are IDPs entitled to free medical care?

The right of internally displaced persons to provide the necessary medical assistance in state and communal health care institutions and provision of medicines is provided for in Article 9 of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Internally Displaced Persons". The provision of primary medical care to internally displaced persons under martial law is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Health dated March 17, 2022 No. 496 "Some issues of the provision of primary medical aid under martial law"

During martial law, an internally displaced person can receive medical assistance free of charge at the place of actual residence by contacting any health care facility that has the ability to provide appropriate treatment.
