Winter eSupport: Ukrainians explained how to use funds for medicines.

Ukrainians receive state aid for medicines

The Ministry of Health reports that as part of the 'Winter eSupport' program, Ukrainians receive a one-Time state aid of 1000 hryvnias. This money can be spent on domestic medicines that can be purchased at pharmacies from the official list.

To purchase prescription medicines, it is necessary to have a prescription from a doctor, which can be obtained personally or remotely from a family doctor. Prescriptions are issued by the name of the active ingredient, not by the trade name. This information can be checked in Diia using the barcode or in the 'National Cashback' section.

To receive a one-time payment, an application must be submitted via Diia or a partner bank, and a card must be opened to receive the funds. It is also possible to receive the payment through Ukrposhta if you already receive a pension or social benefits through it. You will be informed about the accrual of 1000 hryvnias during a scheduled payment of pension or social assistance, the Ministry of Health reported.
