According to the Ministry of Health, if the case was sent for appeal to the Central MSEC, it will be redirected to the Ukrainian State Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in Dnipro. The applicant should be contacted about the review and further actions, and the order of consideration will be maintained.
The procedure for appealing decisions
If you believe that the decision of the MSEC is unreasonable, you can appeal it. Initially, you should do this in a pre-trial procedure with a higher-level commission, and if you still do not agree with the result, you need to go to court.
Thepre-trial appeal procedure involves the following steps
- write an application to the same commission where you underwent the examination or to the regional commission;
- after that, an examination will be carried out (if necessary, with an additional examination) and a new decision will be made;
- if you do not agree with the new decision, you can appeal to the Central Medical and Social Expert Commission, which is run by the Ukrainian State Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in Dnipro.
The address of the Institute is 1-A Feodosii Makarevskyi Lane, Dnipro.

The Ministry of Health also reminded that the system of MSECs consists of central and regional level institutions. The Ministry of Health creates only the Central MSEC, which performs organisational and methodological functions. The regional vertical includes 328 MSECs, including 25 regional bureaus and more than 300 central city and inter-district commissions. The activities of the regional bureaus of the MSEC are managed by the head, who is appointed and dismissed by the founder, the regional council. In other words, heads of local commissions are appointed by order of the head of the regional council on the basis of a decision of the regional council.
