As a foreigner living in Kiev, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

"As a foreigner living in Kiev, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Public healthcare in Ukraine is known to be underfunded and understaffed, with outdated equipment and long waiting times for appointments and treatments. Many locals and expats prefer to use private healthcare facilities, which offer better quality services but at a higher cost. It is recommended that you obtain comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses you may incur while living in Kiev," explained one expat living in Kiev, Ukraine.
