Free Gastroscopy in Ukraine: Doctor Explains Nationwide Referral Program

In Ukraine, access to free gastroscopy is available to citizens who obtain a referral from their family doctor. This was confirmed by Dr. Ornat Vasyl, an endoscopist from Izyaslav, in a recent video response to a viewer's question. "With a referral from your family doctor, the procedure is free across all of Ukraine," stated Dr. Vasyl, emphasizing the nationwide validity of the referral. While some facilities might inquire about the patient's region, the doctor clarified that the referral remains valid irrespective of location. This initiative ensures equitable access to essential medical services for Ukrainian citizens.
