Who holds the health record in Ukraine?
In 2026, Ukraine scores 49 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 53rd of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 43rd to 77th allowing for scoring error, in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: you and the health system. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The person has real controls inside a government or provider system. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is one record across your care (62 out of 100, against 38 for the typical country). The furthest behind is protection from sale and ads (40 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
Ukraine's national e-health system holds records on 34.6 million people, but patients still cannot see their own medical data in the state portal.

Who controls health records in Ukraine?
In 2026, you and the health system hold the keys to your health record in Ukraine. Control over who sees it scores 50 out of 100 in Ukraine; the typical country scores 30. 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. Source: zakon.rada.gov.ua, February 11, 2026, and the other sources below.

What would Ukraine need to change to score higher?
Ukraine sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. Its two weakest rights, compared with the typical country and weighted by how much each counts, are protection from sale and ads (40 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country) and privacy and security (42 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Protection from sale and ads: Clear limits on selling health data or using it for ads, covering apps and data brokers as well as doctors and hospitals.
Privacy and security: A health data regulator that is independent and actually acts: it decides cases about health records, breaches must be reported, and fines are applied.
Which laws give health record rights in Ukraine?
Fundamentals of Ukrainian Health Legislation (No. 2801-XII) (1992): Right to review medical documents, medical secrecy, consent rules for e-health access (Art. 24-2).
Law on Personal Data Protection (No. 2297-VI) (2010): Health data is special category; access within 30 days; human rights commissioner oversees.
Law No. 4497-IX (State Register of Servicemen; amends Art. 24-2 of the Fundamentals) (2025): Lets the defence ministry receive military medical exam results from the e-health system.
