Can Ukrainian Doctors Refuse to Sign Declarations?

Ukrainian Healthcare: Doctor's Right to Refuse Declaration Clarified A recent video from Sumy Channel features a family doctor addressing a common question: Can a doctor refuse to sign a patient's declaration? The doctor clarifies that while refusal is generally prohibited due to factors such as age, gender, or nationality, there is an exception. If the doctor has reached their maximum patient limit—in this case, 1800 patients—they have the right to refuse new declarations. This highlights the importance of understanding patient limits within the Ukrainian healthcare system. "A family doctor does not have the right to refuse to sign a declaration due to age, gender, social status, or nationality," stated the doctor in the video. However, she added, "If the limit of 1800 patients is reached, the doctor has the right to refuse." This clarification is crucial for both patients seeking healthcare and doctors managing their patient loads. The video also promotes a free medical consultation Telegram channel, indicating a potential resource for further information and assistance.
