Ukraine is preparing to implement new electronic medical reports in 2026, which will be required for adoption and obtaining driver's licenses.
This was announced by Dmytro Chernysh, the head of the electronic healthcare system development department of the National Health Service of Ukraine, during the eHealth Day event at the Public Health exhibition.
“We are working on launching new electronic medical reports necessary for adoption and drivers. These are important documents that we aim to transition into a digital format to simplify and make the processes more transparent,” Chernysh noted.
He emphasized that implementing electronic medical reports requires legislative changes to current resolutions and laws.
Additionally, this year marks the launch of the next phase of electronic services in the rehabilitation sector, including electronic prescriptions for assistive devices for patients.
“Previously, this data was recorded on paper, but now it will be automatically transmitted to the Ministry of Social Policy, allowing patients to receive necessary aids more quickly,” Chernysh stated.
Starting in 2026, Ukraine will also launch a preventative health screening program for individuals aged 40 and over, aimed at detecting dangerous diseases at early stages. Participants will be able to access funding for examinations through the “Diia” app.
