Addendum
In 2023, we launched the pilot project "eOzdorovlennia", which gave the most vulnerable Ukrainian families with children the opportunity to improve their child's health at public expense on the principle of "money follows the child".
Low-income families raising children with disabilities or large families can choose a health facility from among those that have joined the program. The state will provide funds for the child's rehabilitation and recreation on a special card, which can be used to pay only for the voucher.
It is indicated that children in need of special social attention and support also have another opportunity to improve their health at the expense of the state budget in the Artek children's center and other children's camps included in the state register.
