State support is not just a gift; it is a tool with a clear expiration date. Under the 'Health Screening 40+' program, allocated funds have strict time limits. If you fail to spend them on time, the money will not go into your personal pocket but will automatically return to the budget.

The Ministry of Health of Ukraine (MOH) has issued clarifications that could be decisive for many citizens. The program is already gaining momentum: thousands of Ukrainians have submitted applications and received 2,000 hryvnias for preventive examinations. This is an important step in taking care of yourself, but it requires attention to dates.

Two Scenarios: When You Need to Act

The situation regarding the use of funds depends on exactly when you received the money. The MOH has identified two key periods that dictate the rules of the game:

  • Early Recipients: If you received the funds before May 1, 2026, you have exactly two months to undergo the examination. The deadline is June 30, 2026. After this date, the money will be annulled.
  • Late Recipients: For those who applied after May 1, 2026, the rule of 'two months from the date of crediting' applies. That is, the count begins individually from the date the money is credited to the account.

It is important to understand: the state does not extend deadlines automatically. If you miss the deadline, the opportunity to use this specific amount will be lost.

Where to Get Screened?

The good news is accessibility. More than 2,000 medical institutions across the country are participating in the program. You do not need to travel to capital centers; it is enough to find the nearest clinic connected to the system.

To book an appointment, you must visit the official portal screening.moz.gov.ua. There is a map available with points where you can undergo screening. This allows you to choose the most convenient option without putting off the visit.

Why Is This Needed If Nothing Hurts?

The Ministry of Health emphasizes the main problem: in the hustle of daily life, we often forget about our health until acute symptoms appear. The 'Health Screening 40+' program was created specifically to identify risks at an early stage—before they develop into serious diseases.

This is not a replacement for a visit to a family doctor, but an additional preventive tool. Do not postpone taking care of yourself: if you have received the money, use it for its intended purpose before it 'burns'.
