People who escape the war in Ukraine and are in Slovakia are treated for health problems and receive the necessary healthcare.
In case of life-threatening health care is provided immediately and free of charge.
The people who came from Ukraine to Slovakia and have asylum status have fully reimbursed health care as other participants of the public health insurance system in Slovakia, and Vladimír Lengvarský, the Minister of Health of the Slovak Republic, said.
Asylum seekers and applicants for temporary refuge shall be entitled to urgent and necessary indicated medical care. This means even the kind of medical care that the doctor will recommend to them by examination. There is an outpatient emergency service in the respective county or city or central hospital reception.
