The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine is expanding digital opportunities for persons liable for military service. From now on, through the Reserve+ mobile application, it is possible to submit a request and receive an electronic referral to the Military Medical Commission (MMC) without the need to personally visit the territorial recruitment centers (TCC).
The service was implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the Ministry of Health, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and with the support of the BRDO.
How to get an electronic referral?
- A person liable for military service who voluntarily wishes to undergo a medical examination submits a request in the Reserve+ app to receive a referral.
- Within a day, the application receives a notification with all the necessary information.
- After receiving the notification, you can immediately contact the specified medical institution and pass the medical examination.
- The results of the MCC will subsequently appear in the military registration document in the application.
Soon, the opportunity to receive an electronic referral will also be available to those who have been served with a paper military draft to the MCC.
“We give persons liable for military service the opportunity not to visit the territorial recruitment centers or collect paperwork. If all the data is already in the system, it should work for people. This is the first stage of a large-scale reform of Military Medical Commissions (MMCs) that we will implement in 2025. Our goal is to create a convenient and transparent MMC system, ensuring that this process functions clearly, fairly, and in the best interests of those subject to military service,” said Kateryna Chernohorenko, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine for Digitalization.
To launch this function, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine approved amendments to the Regulation on Military Medical Examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and initiated changes to the Procedure for the Conscription of Citizens for Military Service during Mobilization in a Special Period, which were supported by the Government.
This is the first step in a large-scale reform of Military Medical Commissions (MMCs), which not only digitizes processes but also makes them clear, fast, and convenient for persons liable for military service.
The next stage of the reform involves the integration of the information systems of the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Health. In the fall of 2025, persons liable for military service will be able to choose a medical institution to undergo a military medical commission through Reserve+.
