Can I get my health records in Ukraine?
Access to the full record scores 46 of 100 in Ukraine, against a median of 43 across 198 countries. The law gives patients a right to see their medical documents and to get their personal data within 30 days, but the national patient cabinet shows only personal data and doctor declarations. Some private apps show part of the record.
Can I control who sees my health record in Ukraine?
Control and consent scores 50 of 100 in Ukraine, against a median of 30 across 198 countries. The law says access to a patient's e-health data needs consent, and patients approve other doctors by SMS code. But signing a family doctor declaration counts as blanket consent, and no patient-visible access log was found.
