Minister of Social Policy Oksana Zholnovych stressed during the telethon that every citizen of Ukraine who needs it has the right to free prosthetics.

According to her, the procedure for free prosthetics for war victims has been greatly simplified - in particular, they do not need to establish a disability in order to receive the necessary prosthesis..

“Regarding the victims of the war, including military personnel, we have removed the need for them to receive disability. You don't have to be disabled to get a prosthesis. The conclusion of the medical advisory commission is enough that you need such a prosthesis in the hospital itself, ”she said..

Oksana Zholnovich also stressed that a draft resolution had already been developed to make it as easy as possible for the military to receive payments for prosthetics.. Now, to receive the funds needed for prosthetics, the conclusion of the military medical commission (VVK) is required. The ordinance should eliminate this requirement.

“Unfortunately, the bureaucracy of these VVKs is built in such a way that it is difficult to get this conclusion, because you need to get initial paper documents from the commanders, and they are at the forefront.. Now we have prepared amendments to the resolution.

We will just remove all the requirements,"

According to her, in the future there will be enough medical conclusion that a person needs a prosthesis..

“We have already developed a draft resolution, but there is a procedure for its approval by other authorities and submission to the Cabinet of Ministers.. I think that two, maximum three weeks, and it will be adopted,” the minister concluded..

Recall that earlier in Ukraine simplified the receipt of rehabilitation assistance. The government adopted a resolution "
