“For this, you need to have a foreign passport of a citizen of Ukraine, in which there is a mark about crossing the border after February 24, 2022. If you crossed the border without a foreign passport – you should have a document confirming the date of crossing the Polish border by Polish services. The provision of medical care for Ukrainians is free of charge.”
In addition, Ukrainians must have refugee status or temporary protection status, as well as an analogue of the Ukrainian identification number – PESEL, which will provide access to health care services.
Today, Poland provides Ukrainians with free access to medical care at all levels: basic medical care — visits to family doctors, calling an “ambulance”; specialized outpatient care; diagnostic studies (as directed by a doctor); treatment in a hospital; psychiatric treatment; rehabilitation (except resorts); dental services.
Also, citizens of Ukraine, children and youth under the age of 19 have the right to receive free preventive vaccinations according to the Polish Program of preventive vaccinations.
