On May 4, the status of “limitedly fit” for military service was finally canceled

Starting today, May 4, Law No. 3621-IX comes into force, which, among other things, abolishes the “limitedly fit” status.

" Liha.Zakon " writes about this.

The law provides that citizens previously recognized as being of limited fitness must undergo a second medical examination within 9 months from the date of entry into force of this Law in order to determine suitability for military service. The Ministry of Defence has already approved, by order No. 262 dated April 27, 2024, changes to the Regulations on military medical examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will also come into force on May 4, 2024.

This Regulation defines the procedure for conducting a military medical examination of the Military Medical Commission and applies to military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Special Transport Service, members of their families, conscripts, military personnel and reservists.

The Military Medical Commission determines the health suitability of conscripts, military personnel, military personnel and reservists for military service, establishes the causal relationship of diseases, injuries (wounds, concussions, mutilations) with military service and determines the need and conditions for the use of medical and social rehabilitation and assistance to military personnel.

Information on the results of a medical examination (military medical examination) by conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists is entered into the Unified Register of Conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists in the manner prescribed by law.

The MMC will adopt new types of resolutions:

“Suitable for service in military support units, TRC and SS, universities, educational centers, institutions (institutions), medical units, logistics, communications, operational support, security units. Such persons are unsuitable for service in special forces units, on submarines, surface ships, and in special structures.”
