Discharge from military service due to health reasons: main grounds and conclusion of the Military Medical Commission
Discharge from military service due to health reasons is the legal right of every military serviceman if their health condition objectively prevents them from continuing their service. The main document confirming the grounds for discharge is the conclusion of the Military Medical Commission (MMC).
What you need to know:
- The MMC must officially recognise the serviceman as unfit or partially fit for service.
- The reasons may include serious chronic diseases, injuries, disability, etc.
- Without the VMC's conclusion, the discharge procedure is impossible — it is a key legal document.

Discharge from military service due to health reasons is only possible with an official conclusion from the VMC of unfitness.

Legal support significantly increases the chances of successfully completing the procedure and protecting the rights of the military personnel.
