The implementation of the national program "Health Screening 40+" is underway in the region. This government initiative, introduced in January 2026, is aimed at early detection of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, as well as monitoring the mental health of the population, said Olena Logvynova, Deputy Head of the Kharkiv OVA.

«"Currently, examinations under the "Health Screening 40+" program can be taken at more than 85 service points in both municipal and private medical institutions in the Kharkiv region. As of today, more than 2.5 thousand residents of the region have already used the screening. The examination is organized as accessible and comfortable as possible for patients," said Olena Logvynova. Cardiovascular diseases still cause more than 60% premature deaths in Ukraine, and a significant part of patients with diabetes mellitus do not even suspect their diagnosis for a long time. In addition, more than 72% Ukrainians experienced anxiety, depression or other mental disorders during the year. "That is why such screenings are a powerful tool for early detection of pathologies. Thanks to state support, every resident of the region has the opportunity to take care of themselves in a timely manner, and this service is free of charge for the patient. I urge residents of the Kharkiv region not to postpone caring about their own well-being for later and to undergo an examination. This is a simple but crucial step towards preserving health and quality of life,« added Olena Logvynova. The state finances the diagnosis: after submitting an appropriate application, each registered participant receives 2,000 hryvnias to pay for medical services. The »Health Screening 40+» complex includes: physical examination; anamnestic survey; basic laboratory tests. You can sign up for an examination by phone, online or directly at the registration desk of the selected healthcare institution. If there are free places, you can undergo screening directly on the day of your application.
