Free telemedicine consultations for patients have been launched in the Odesa region as part of the Medical Guarantees Program of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Special telemedicine equipment allows patients to undergo diagnostics for cardiovascular diseases, abdominal organ pathologies, skin and hearing disorders, as well as receive consultations from a cardiologist, dermatologist, and otolaryngologist.
The Telemedica platform connects patients from remote areas with doctors when medical facilities are located far away or there is a shortage of specialists. After the consultation, the system generates a report, and medical data is transmitted in real time in compliance with cybersecurity standards, without storing personal data.
To take advantage of telemedicine consultations, patients can contact one of 55 primary care facilities equipped with the appropriate equipment. Twenty-five medical institutions in the region that provide specialized consultations have also joined the project.
A list of medical facilities that provide telemedicine services is available at the link.
The project is being implemented by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in partnership with the French company C3Medical with the support of the French government.
As part of this initiative, Ukraine received 142 telemedicine equipment sets with a total value of over €4 million – 80 LIMSTAR stationary systems and 62 FMC portable devices.
