What diseases are exempt from mobilization - the full list has been updated The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has for the eighth time extended martial law and general mobilization for another 90 days until August 11, 2024.
During this period, all men of conscription age who are found fit for military service by a military medical commission may receive mobilization orders.
However, the Order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine of April 27, 2024, No. 262 on the approval of Amendments to the Rules of Medical Examination of the Armed Forces of Ukraine established a list of diseases for which the issuance of medical examinations is based.
Decisions of the Military Qualification Commission on unfitness and exemption from mobilization.
So which patients are not mobilized during martial law?
The list of diseases that are exempt from mobilization is complete.
The new law on general mobilization abolished restrictions on military service.
Currently, this status is no longer valid in Ukraine.
Therefore, military medical commissions can make only two conclusions regarding fitness for military service.
1: Fit.
2. Unfit.
Therefore, within nine months from the date of promulgation of the law, a person who was in a state of limited physical strength must re-examine the military medical commission, on the basis of which a new conclusion will be drawn up.
The military medical examination determines the fitness for military service based on the state of health of servicemen, persons liable for military service, conscripts, and reservists.
