Evidence-based Medicine

As one of the key reform steps and strategic approaches to bringing Ukraine’s healthcare system closer to international standards, we have allowed our doctors to base their diagnosis and treatment recommendations on current international protocols.

Therefore, each doctor will now be sure that the treatment s/he recommends to a patient is the most effective and best solution known to humankind to date, while each patient will have a great tool for healthcare quality control.

World science is not static, it is marked by a steady progress and Ukrainians should keep abreast with the latest advancements and developments. Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. So, please use them.
