How to apply for sick leave.

To do this you need:.

contact your family doctor. For the period of martial law, this can be done using a messenger or email.

in order to form a Medical conclusion on temporary disability (MZVN), the doctor must obtain confirmation of the basis for acquiring temporary disability. Such confirmation should be a medical document (certificate or extract), which will indicate the diagnosis / status of the patient.

if the medical document was obtained abroad, the doctor may request a translation of the document into Ukrainian.

The Ministry of Health noted that there is an important clarification for doctors: in medical documents issued abroad, a diagnosis is indicated using the International Classification of Diseases of the Tenth Revision (ICD-10). Therefore, this classifier should be taken into account when forming the MHVN in the e-health system.
