Reply to Ukrainian Medical Council appeal for verification of the licensure
Dear Mr Stanislav Bilan
We are struck with a profound sense of injustice and a profound sympathy with the Ukrainian
people who are fighting for their country, for Europe and for every member of the democratic
world. Estonia together with its allies and partners continues to stand by the people of
Ukraine and its democratically elected government.
We agree that Estonia, who is welcoming an increasing number of Ukrainian war refugees,
needs to support individuals to have the possibility to start working as soon as possible at
their studied profession. Therefore, we agree on the need of simplification of the verification
procedure for them, by losing the obligation of original paper qualification documents, at least
until the Ukrainian authorities will be able to restore normal functioning.
You mention in your letter that your database ensures that all medical workers registered with
the Ukrainian Medical Council (UMC) possess appropriate primary and postgraduate
educational background and work experience.
We would like to ask your confirmation that UMC will be able to provide Estonian Health
Board, who is overlooking the qualification documents in Estonia, electronic versions, and
verification of Ukrainian medical practitioners’ primary and postgraduate educational
documents, including evidence of internship, and prove their work experience. Please inform
if they are available as scanned versions or just as entry in your register?
We would also appreciate a confirmation letter from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine where
they confirm the validity of the register and database of Ukrainian Medical Council.
You could contact directly Ms Liina Saar (
[email protected] ) in the Estonian Health
Board to agree the details for the electronic transfer and verification of documents.
Yours sincerely,
Agris Koppel
Head of Department
