Provision of medical services for ukrainians in the system of temporary protection in Poland and Germany.

Objective: Aim: The aim of the work is to study the access of Ukrainians using temporary protection to medical care in different healthcare systems using the example of Poland and Germany.

Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: Scientific databases Scopus and ResearchBib were used. International law and national legislation of Poland and Germany were analyzed. Surveys were conducted among 1,180 respondents to identify the problem of long waiting times for receiving medical care in the specified countries.

Conclusion: Conclusions: Access to medical care for persons from Ukraine using temporary protection is significantly simplified. Polish and German national legislation is loyal to the beneficiaries of temporary protection. Despite the serious distinctions between different healthcare systems in Europe, this does not create significant obstacles for access to medicine. However, unfortunately, there are cases of bureaucracy and bureaucratic barriers in providing such access. In our opinion, such a phenomenon should be reduced to a minimum, while Ukrainians should be provided with the opportunity to receive timely medical assistance in the host country, without creating situations when a person must return to Ukraine solely to receive more prompt medical assistance.
