In 2023, the minimum wage for a doctor, pharmacist and rehabilitation specialist will be at least UAH 20,000, for a nurse/brother - at least UAH 13,500. It is reported by the Ministry of Health.

This is only the minimum wage guaranteed by the state for full-time medical professionals.. The above salary level is not fixed and can be increased by the head of the healthcare institution by establishing additional payments and allowances, taking into account the complexity, responsibility and conditions of the work performed, the qualifications of the employee, the results of his work.

“This year, the main focus of the state budget is, of course, defense. But, despite the reduction in funding for the Medical Guarantees Program, we managed to maintain financial guarantees for medical workers at a level of at least UAH 20,000 for a doctor and UAH 13,500 for paramedical workers. I would like to point out that the government has set only a minimum wage below which full-time medical professionals cannot receive. However, in the field, each manager can additionally reward employees who perform their work qualitatively,” Viktor Lyashko said..

Guarantees for the payment of basic wages will apply to those medical institutions that have contracts with the NHSU under the Medical Guarantees Program, while the payroll fund with accruals for the current month should not exceed 85% of the cash income received in the current month, taking into account accumulated balances.
