Due to Russia's military aggression in Ukraine, general mobilization and martial law were extended until February 19, 2023. Men liable for military service from 18 to 60 years old are subject to mobilization. During mobilization, persons liable for military service must undergo a medical examination.. Legal Analyst Ruslan Romaniv explained the basic rules for conducting a medical examination during mobilization.

Medical examination in wartime: how often is it carried out.

A person liable for military service who has received a summons must come to the territorial recruitment center. If he does not have a reprieve, he must pass a medical board.

The expert explained that a second medical examination of the military reserves of the first and second categories, recognized as fit in peacetime, is carried out once every five years..

If a man liable for military service is unfit for service, then a second medical examination can be scheduled after 2-6 months. If a person is unfit for military service, a re-examination occurs after 6-12 months.

During martial law, a person undergoes a medical examination, even if he was declared fit in peacetime, because circumstances could change during this period.

Which doctors examine conscripts.

Before the medical board, the conscript must independently undergo examinations that are not carried out as part of the medical board. The legislation does not determine the time frame for these procedures, but only the date of arrival at the military registration and enlistment office.

The conscript at the medical board is examined by the following specialists:.

therapist;

ophthalmologist;

dentist;

otorhinolaryngologist;

surgeon;

neuropathologist;

psychiatrist;

dermatologist.

If a person is registered or has a disability, other specialists can additionally examine him.

Each doctor, after examination, writes his opinion on the suitability or unsuitability of a person for service.. Under the conclusion, the doctor signs and personal seal.

The analyst emphasized that people with disabilities are advised to take a document certifying their state of health with them for a medical examination..
