Good to know

Make sure you have some decent insurance for your trip or stay. Medical help in life threatening situations is free and provided to anyone but regular expenses you'll have to cover yourself. No special vaccination is needed for travel to Ukraine. Don't drink tap water in Ukraine, buy safe bottled water. Bring your prescription medicines with you. Unless in emergency, contact the hospital beforehand to get an appointment. You will need some Russian/Ukrainian initially.



First aid
 
Let's hope not but for ambulance call 03 or Medikom or Boris. You will most likely need to pay cash at the hospital and then claim the amount from your insurance company. The prices are reasonable at Boris (around 30 USD per visit)  and Medikom but can stretch to a few hundred dollars per visit at for example the American Medical Centers. From our own experience we can say it is worth paying more at AMC rather than going to Boris. We were never happy with the diagnostics and suggested treatment which usually includes a lot of antibiotics to treat anything.
