The government has expanded the payment scheme for young doctors: what has changed
This was announced by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
According to Svyrydenko, this applies to medical graduates who have completed their internship at state higher education institutions and have agreed to work for at least three years in community hospitals where there is a critical shortage of doctors.
From now on, young doctors who have found employment in medical facilities in areas of potential hostilities are also eligible for the payment.
Exceptions include the Kyiv region and the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kharkiv and Chernihiv. As Svyrydenko says, the decision should help strengthen the healthcare system and address the shortage of doctors in regions under increased pressure.
Previously, the scheme was available to those starting work in areas of active hostilities and in rural areas.
