Health care in Ukraine

Doctors and Health Centres

Doctors are known as a likar and are the first point of contact with the Ukrainian health system. Citizens can register with the doctor of their choice, however, people seeking state medical care must make sure that their doctor is contracted into the health scheme. If you are treated by a doctor whether or not the doctor is covered by the state you will have to pay a fee.

GPs prescribe drugs, treat acute and chronic illnesses, and provide preventive care and health education.

Waiting times to see doctors vary and it is advised that you make an appointment in advance. If you need urgent help, you may go to the doctors surgery on speculation, but be prepared for a long wait.

Health centres in Ukraine are in an extremely poor state. The medical facilities are of a poor standard compared to Western standards; the medical equipment and facilities are in short supply compared to the high demand. All services, including doctors and nurses cost a lot of money which makes health care in health centres not always a feasible option for the ordinary citizen. The doctors and nurses who work in the health centres are not always fully trained in the health system.

Consultants

Consultants are senior doctors who have completed a higher level of specialised training. GPs refer patients to a Consultant if he believes that a patient may need specialist help and diagnosis. There are very few consultants in Ukraine, which therefore makes a high waiting list to see the Consultant doctors. The consultants are no different to a doctor in terms of them still asking for a fee, normally higher than a normal doctor due to their higher level medical skills.

Hospitals

Hospitals and clinics exist in all major towns and cities of Ukraine, but are nowhere near the standard which is required in Ukraine. Hospitals are dirty and the level of care in extremely low due to staff shortages. Patients are admitted to hospital either through the emergency department or through a referral by their doctor. Once a patient is admitted treatment is controlled by one of the hospital doctors. All hospital doctors require a fee which makes hospitalisation difficult for its citizens. Doctors and nurses are in short supply due to low wages which is resulting in doctors and nurses going abroad and offering their services. There may be a waiting list for some non-emergency treatments and services.

Emergency Care

Emergency care is supposedly to be free for everyone including those without state health insurance. However, once your condition is stabilised the doctor will probably ask for a fee for their services due to the low wages that the state provides. Emergency departments are open non-stop all year. You may use their services if you need immediate attention, or if your GP refers you to them, or if there is no GP service available.

Private Clinics

There are a few private practices in Ukraine which are provided by independent office-based doctors and specialists. The premises are funded largely by private insurance contributions, but it is used only by a small minority of people, often as a top up to the basic state healthcare and to cover them for the services deemed non-essential. The private hospitals are cleaner and the comfort factor is a lot higher than a state hospital, there are no waiting lists, but then there is a higher fee, which is not always a feasible option for the ordinary citizen.

Dentists

Dental care in Ukraine is expensive and not very many citizens can afford the dental care that is necessary, all dentist services are private in Ukraine. Dentists are known as a zubnyy likar. Dentists can be found in major cities of Ukraine normally where the income of the citizens are of the amount where they can afford dental care.

Pharmacies

Dispensing chemists known as an apteka sell medicines in Ukraine. Prescriptions known as prypysannia are generally not needed to buy medicines, which are normally tightly monitored in Western countries. There are many pharmacies throughout Ukraine and the cost of medicine from a pharmacy can be expensive as there is no monitoring of drug prices. Many pharmacies in the major cities are open 24 hours, so there is always access to pharmacy medicines.

If you have been thinking about pursuing a career in healthcare, you’re in luck right now. The demand for healthcare professionals is at an all-time high, especially for OB/GYNs. Here are a few reasons you should consider entering the field.

Higher Demand for Female OB/GYNs

While health care may seem to be a male-dominated field, over the past few years, the demand for female OB/GYNs has increased significantly. More women than ever are requesting to see another female specialist these days. Women are naturally more comfortable talking with women, especially about sexual or pregnancy issues. Furthermore, supply and demand favours female OB/GYNs and now more than 70 percent of all residents are women.

Work Satisfaction

There’s something satisfying about bringing new life into this world, and this is one of the reasons people have ranked OB/GYN as the most rewarding sector in the healthcare field. As an OB/GYN, you’ll have the chance to experience childbirth regularly and help new mothers make choices that will affect their newborn’s health.

Some OB/GYNs work with high-risk pregnancies exclusively. These nurses and doctors deal with patients with premature births, a history of miscarriages, or preexisting conditions that could complicate childbirth. As an OB/GYN, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to the field by discovering new procedures and methods that could one day become standard practice.

Higher than Average Salary

Not only is the obstetrics field one of the most fulfilling positions in healthcare, it is also one of the highest paying. According to this website, an obstetrician can earn up to $204,000 a year, which is right up there with general surgeons and cardiologists. Not to mention that this salary is for level entry positions; experienced OB/GYNs can earn up to $300,000 a year, especially when employed by major hospital networks.

Flexibility

The OB/GYN field has not always been seen as the most family-friendly option, but there are ways that you can make it manageable. For instance, many graduates decide to go into academics after their studies, which offers more flexibility. Others have decided to open their own clinics with other moms and make it part of their branding. Healthcare “by moms for moms” is a fast-growing field and along with partners, it’s easier to share the load and make your schedule more flexible.

It’s also important to note here that studying to become an OB/GYN is also flexible with many bachelor level programs now being available online.  For example, through this college in San Diego CA, you can study for a medical speciality in as little as 20 months. It’s not just San Diego CA colleges that offer these options, either.  You can find online courses for most medical specialities throughout the United States.

Becoming an OB/GYN is one of the best decisions you could make. Not only will you have the chance to experience the miracle of birth on a regular basis, you’ll also be able to experience all the benefits we mentioned above.
