Teema: Ukrainian Medical Council appeal for verification of the licensure
/ registration status of medical practitioners
Dear colleagues,On behalf of the Ukrainian Medical Council we appeal to
you with an urgent request in this dark period for the whole Ukrainian
nation - the unprovoked and unjustified military aggression carried out
by the Russian Federation against Ukraine that started on the 24th of
February 2022.Despite these hardships the Ukrainian Medical Council puts
all its efforts to support all Ukrainian health practitioners who suffer
due to this terrible situation.We have received hundreds of appeals from
doctors, who have already submitted their documents for the purpose of
getting registered with registration authorities of other countries. Yet
their cases have a pending status due to impossibility to verify their
documents via relevant issuing authorities due to ongoing war. So, their
rights for equal opportunities are deprived.We believe that we must
support individuals who are seeking opportunities beyond their current
circumstances. The UMC remains committed to supporting doctors worldwide
and providing opportunities for all people to further their professional
goals.Therefore, we plead you to consider our request to assist our
medical practitioners and simplify the verification procedure for them at
least for the period of military actions.Most of the physicians are
registered with the Ukrainian Medical Council which is a registered NGO
with a full legal registration with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine
based on Art.14 and Art.16 of the Law on Public Organizations of
Ukraine.Our database ensures that all medical workers registered with the
Ukrainian Medical Council possess appropriate primary and postgraduate
educational background and work experience. We constantly verify the
compliance of their certificates with recognized standards. In case of
any incompliance, to decrease the risk of forgeries and other illegal
practices, we immediately notify all concerned authorities of such
cases.This letter is official request to consider the opportunity for all
medical practitioners to refer to UMC for verification of their primary
and postgraduate educational documents, including evidence of internship,
and their work experience as all these files are stored in the UMC
database. The full extract of the doctors profile is outlined on the
Certificate of Current Professional Status that also underpins the
doctors good character.In addition, due to disruptions in the work of
postal agents, the hard copies cannot be provided at this time, and thus
we ask you to accept the electronic versions of the documents until the
postal services resume. We have efficiently implemented the electronic
transfer option based on the Edinburgh agreement since 2017, so this is a
secure and fast alternative for the document transfer.Together we can
make incredible contribution to the future of health practitioners who
must not be at disadvantage under any circumstances.We trust in your
support and understanding, and we are eagerly waiting for your response
concerning this matter.With warm regards,Stanislav
