Ukrainians who arrived in Poland on February 24, 2022 and later are entitled to free medical care on a par with the country's citizens. This right is granted to all citizens of Ukraine, from minor children to the elderly.
In order to receive medical care, you must have the following documents:
- Foreign passport of a citizen of Ukraine, which has a mark of crossing the border not earlier than February 24, 2022
- If you crossed the border without a passport - a document confirming the date of crossing the Polish border by Polish services
- In addition, Ukrainians who intend to stay in Poland for a certain period can get a PESEL number - an analogue of the Ukrainian identification number. It provides access to health care services on a regular basis, social assistance, etc.
The procedure for obtaining a PESEL for Ukrainians has been simplified. To apply, you need to contact the administration of any commune (similar to the Ukrainian united territorial communities, OTG) and submit an application, photos and your current data. The step-by-step instructions are at the link.
