How are healthcare services in Kiev?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Kiev, they replied...

"If you travel in Ukraine make sure you have real good international health insurance. I had a kidney stone attack and had to fly to New York for my surgery at the V.A. (Veterans Hospital) which the service is totally free. I am receiving 100% disability from the V.A. so all my medicals costs are paid by the V.A. including medicines," said another expat in Kiev, Ukraine.

"Healthcare services in Kiev, consist of a mix of public and private medical facilities, offering various levels of care to residents and visitors. Public hospitals and clinics are funded by the government, but they often face challenges such as outdated equipment, insufficient funding, and long waiting times. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities in Kiev provide a higher standard of care, with modern equipment and well-trained medical professionals, but at a higher cost. In addition to hospitals and clinics, Kiev also has numerous pharmacies, dental clinics, and specialized medical centers catering to different health needs. Emergency medical services are available, but response times may vary depending on the location and traffic conditions. It is common for locals and expats to seek routine medical care from family doctors or general practitioners, who can refer patients to specialists if needed. While many medical professionals in Kiev speak English, language barriers can still be a challenge when seeking healthcare services. It is advisable for foreigners to have a local contact or translator to help navigate the healthcare system. Additionally, it is essential for visitors and expats to have comprehensive health insurance coverage, as medical costs can be high, especially in private facilities. Overall, healthcare services in Kiev, Ukraine, offer a range of options for patients, but the quality of care can vary significantly between public and private facilities. It is crucial for individuals to research and choose the most suitable healthcare provider based on their needs and financial capabilities," wrote a member who made the move to Kiev, Ukraine.
