What are emergency services like in Kiev?

"Emergency services in Kiev, are similar to those in many other countries, providing assistance in cases of medical emergencies, fires, and criminal incidents. To call for an ambulance in Kiev, you would need to dial the emergency number, which is 103. Once connected, you should provide the operator with your location, the nature of the emergency, and any other relevant information. The ambulance service in Kiev is operated by the government and is generally reliable, but response times may vary depending on the location and traffic conditions. It is important to note that not all emergency responders may speak English, so it can be helpful to have a local or a translation app available to assist with communication," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kiev, Ukraine.

"In Kiev, there are several hospitals, but one must pay "before" any service is granted! You need to have a good medical interpreter to help you with the doctors and nurses. I was lucky since my friend is an American/Ukrainian and did all of the translation for me," commented one expat who made the move to Kiev, Ukraine.
