The amount of financial assistance for medical care for non-working railway pensioners was approved by the Presidium of the Trade Union Council on 8 October. р. increased to reflect the real average market value of medical services due to the implementation of the relevant provisions of the Sectoral Agreement by the administration of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia.
The main areas and profiles of medical care for which expenses are reimbursed have been expanded.
Also, in certain difficult cases, if financially possible, trade unions can now provide this financial assistance if pensioners apply for it repeatedly during the year.

If the unit has been reorganised or there is no contact with the head of the primary trade union, you can use the service of the trade union website https://zalp.org.ua/materialna-dopomoga/.
