Elimination of MSEC in Ukraine

Recall that on December 30 of last year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law that provides for the elimination of medical and social expert commissions. This law will take effect starting January 1.

According to the law, from January 1, 2025, expert commissions will operate in Ukrainian cluster and non-cluster hospitals, replacing MSEC. These commissions will conduct assessments based on the criteria of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.

As reported by the head of the Ministry of Health, Viktor Lyashko, as of the end of 2024, nearly 200 people have lost their disability status.
