How are healthcare services Ukraine?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Ukraine, they replied:
"If you travel in Ukraine make sure you have real good international health insurance. I had a kidney stone attack and had to fly to New York for my surgery at the V.A. (Veterans Hospital) which the service is totally free. I am receiving 100% disability from the V.A. so all my medicals costs are paid by the V.A. including medicines," commented one expat who moved to Kiev.
