MEDICAL HELP FOR FOREIGNERS:
In general, there are several options for a foreigner to get medical care in Ukraine. Private medical clinics (please contact me for more information), local polyclinic if he/she has posvidka or Lviv Regional Medical Center if he/she is a tourist. For reimbursement, please check with your insurance company.

However, all patients that have the symptoms of corona virus are handled by the Lviv Regional Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital (Pekarska Str. 54). Other private clinics or public hospitals do not have the jurisdiction to accept patients with corona virus symptoms.

Government claims that it is fully prepared to handle the outbreak.
