PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE IN UKRAINE

The main principle of our Health Service is to prevent diseases, to strengthen the health of the people, and to increase their longe­vity.

The Health Network of Ukraine comprises a great number of hospitals, polyclinics, out-patient departments, and research insti­tutes.

There are some kinds of hospitals. The most familiar is general hospital where patients of all ages with all kinds of illness and medical conditions are treated. Patients usually have acute problems and stay for only a short term. Other hospitals provide more specialized care. Some hospitals treat patients with chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, or patients of one age group, like children.

Despite their growth in numbers, hospitals cannot provide services for all medical needs or patients. That is why in Ukraine there are a lot of polyclinics. As a rule patients visit them only as their needs arise.

In Ukraine there are large centers of cardiology, surgery, onco­logy, ophthalmology, and the First Aid Stations where many people are examined and treated.

We have different sanatoria and rest homes where a lot of our people rest and take the course of treatment. Much attention is paid to the health protection of mother and child. There are prenatal clinics and departments for pregnant women, and clinics for new mothers and their babies. Mothers are given maternity leaves and paid leaves until the baby is three years old. The mother's job is reserved during the definite period.

In Ukraine there are mental clinics for those who need periodic psychiatric attention.

Most hospitals are financed by the government of our country. Some clinics are private.

As for the medical personnel much attention is paid to the training of therapeutists, surgeons, gynecologists, obstetricians, nurses, stomatologists, pharmacists and other specialists, as they must take care about the health of the people.
