The right to file a complaint is enshrined in the European Charter of Patients' Rights (Article 13), the Fundamentals of Ukrainian Legislation on Health Care (Article 6).

A statement with a complaint can be submitted in oral, written or electronic forms. The complaint must contain the correct details of the name of the medical institution, the address of the institution, the surname, the patronymic of the person making the request, the actual place of residence with the postal code, means of communication, and the presence of an electronic mailbox. Next, you need to reveal the essence of the question and clearly formulate the request or demand, indicate in what way the answer should be given to you (to an electronic mailbox or to a postal address) and put the date and signature.

It is recommended to register a written application directly upon submission. And in the case of sending it by mail, use the services of a registered letter or a notice of delivery.

The e-mail address must also include an e-mail address to which a reply can be sent to the applicant, or information about other means of communication with him. The use of an electronic digital signature when sending an electronic application is not required. If the application does not contain data necessary for making a reasoned decision, it is returned to the applicant within 5 days with relevant explanations.
