Good day! Here is a brief overview of the changes to the Regulation on Military Medical Examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
1. **Essence of changes:**
The order introduces changes to the Regulation on Military Medical Examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, expanding the list of circumstances taken into account when determining fitness for military service. In particular, the changes concern servicemen who have contracted diseases, injuries, traumas or mutilations during their stay in places of deprivation of liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine.
2. **Structure and main provisions:**
The order introduces changes to paragraph 21.5 of chapter 21 of section II and appendix 5 of the Regulation. The changes stipulate that the circumstances of contracting diseases, injuries, traumas or mutilations during captivity or other places of deprivation of liberty related to the protection of Ukraine from armed aggression are taken into account when determining fitness for military service.
3. **Key provisions for use:**
The most important thing is that now military medical commissions must take into account the conditions of stay of servicemen in places of deprivation of liberty, if the fact of deprivation of personal liberty is established in connection with the protection of Ukraine from armed aggression. This may affect the decision on fitness for service and the need for treatment and rehabilitation.
