Supporting Ukrainians in Germany

Medical Services

In Germany, every person has the right to medical care. This also applies to Ukrainians who are here under the Temporary Protection program — you can receive medical services on the same level as citizens of the country. The key to the healthcare system in Germany is medical insurance. It opens access to high-quality, modern and diverse medical care — from a family doctor to specialized clinics. The possibility of obtaining insurance depends on the visa status. Ukrainians with Temporary Protection status are entitled to medical insurance. All services you see in this section are available if you have medical insurance. If you still need to obtain insurance — here (link) you will find detailed information on how to do this in Germany. In the “Social Services” section, you will also find a list of organizations that help with the insurance process.

Social Services

Many Ukrainians in Germany face not only medical issues but also difficulties in the social sphere. That is why there is a network of organizations ready to help in various life situations. If you live with HIV or belong to a key population, you can receive support from partner Aidshilfe organizations operating across Germany. Other institutions also support Ukrainians, so in this section you will find a list of organizations you can contact directly in your city.

Germany has a number of laws that guarantee both material and non-material support for people with chronic illnesses or disabilities. This also applies to people living with HIV or AIDS, as their rights and benefits are defined in the country’s social legislation and depend on individual circumstances and health status.
