A number of medical services in Ukraine may become free: what is known
The draft budget for 2019 includes an innovation according to which ultrasound, mammography, X-ray, and laboratory tests will be free starting from 1 July.
As Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman reported on Twitter, the only condition is that the patient must be referred for the examination by their family doctor.
"We have allocated funds in the draft budget so that from 1 July next year ultrasound, mammography, X-ray, and laboratory tests will be free. The only condition is that the family doctor must refer the patient for the examination," the message says.

It is worth noting that the draft-2019 budget included 2 billion hryvnias for free diagnostics.
Acting Minister of Health Ulana Suprun noted that basic free tests by doctor referral will be available to every Ukrainian.
