Determent for all doctors

25.12.2024

The Supreme Council adopted in the second final reading amendments to the law "On universal military duty and military service" concerning the provision of a deferment from conscription for doctors.

The law provided for a deferment for doctors of state and municipal healthcare institutions until now. However, this category did not include doctors who work in government organizations that are not related to the healthcare system. For example, such organizations include penal institutions.

Amendments to the law were adopted in order to retain doctors in the field. The initiators were deputies from the Education Committee Igor Buga, Andrei Safonov and Pavel Shinkaryuk. Their law-in-draft was adopted in the final reading taking into account the amendments of the relevant Committee on Legislation. The amendments expanded the list of organizations where doctors can be granted a deferment from military service. These are the Armed Forces, internal affairs agencies, and organizations of the penal system.

The amendments to the law "On universal military duty and military service" will enter into force on the day following the day of official publication.
