Three doctors are ending their employment with the Bucha primary healthcare centre: therapist Klavdiia Radchenko, who saw patients at Bucha clinic No. 6, family doctor Nadiia Skyba of the Vorzel clinic and family doctor Ruslan Lysianskyi of the Zdvyzhivka clinic.

Patients were warned by the Bucha primary healthcare centre.

What happens to your declaration

Accordingly, your declarations with these doctors lapse automatically.

Patients need not cancel anything themselves — but without a valid declaration the free services under the medical guarantees programme do not apply. To keep a family doctor, you must choose a new one and sign a declaration.

Where to go

The centre asks people to call its contact line on 067 612 12 23 or 050 480 01 21. It works Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00.

To sign a new declaration, go to the reception of the clinic where your chosen doctor works, taking a passport, tax number and mobile phone. For a child under 14, a birth certificate. There is no tie to your address: you may choose any doctor in the community.

Who is affected most

Ruslan Lysianskyi headed the Zdvyzhivka clinic. As of today its page on the centre's website lists no doctors at all — only two nurses.

The centre runs 14 clinics in total: six in Bucha, the rest in Vorzel, Babyntsi, Blystavytsia, Havrylivka, Zdvyzhivka, Lubianka, Myrotske and Syniak.

Earlier we wrote that psychological help in the community starts with the family doctor — so a valid declaration matters for that too.
