The 40+ Health Screening includes an evidence-based list of medical interventions: a questionnaire and assessment of individual risks (including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes risk, and mental health), a physical examination, and laboratory tests that show the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. All of this can be done free of charge, in one visit, and in a convenient location, and after receiving the results, the doctor will provide recommendations for further actions.
After passing the screening, a person will receive individual recommendations regarding lifestyle and health status. The doctor can also immediately prescribe certain medications if necessary. The state is expanding the list of medications that can be obtained free of charge or with a partial co-payment from year to year within the framework of the "Affordable Medicines" reimbursement program - currently there are over 700 of them.
In particular, it concerns support for people with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes through the "Affordable Medicines" program. In 2024 alone, more than UAH 2.65 billion was reimbursed for insulin, UAH 29.9 million for test strips, and more than UAH 2.48 billion for drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. In 2025, this support increased: UAH 2.78 billion was already reimbursed for insulin, UAH 58.8 million for test strips, and UAH 2.53 billion for drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes.
