If the patient does not use the funds of the “Screening 40+” program, they will return to the state budget. This was stated on TV by the Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko, Ukrinform reports.
“If the patient does not use the funds of the “Health Screening 40+” program, they will be returned at the end of this budget year (to the state – ed.). Next year, the funds will be allocated again, because this is not a one-time campaign, but a nationwide program,” Lyashko emphasized.
As the minister recalled, within the framework of the “Health Screening 40+” program, Ukrainians can undergo examinations for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and mental health.
“Most Ukrainians die from cardiovascular diseases, and in 2025, 80% of disability cases were diagnosed precisely because of these diseases,” Lyashko noted.
He reminded that in the “Health Screening 40+” program, the patient is credited with funds from the state to his card, the patient chooses a medical institution on the NHSU website, signs up for screening, and only after the examination can he pay with these funds.
