The Cabinet of Ministers<\/strong> approved new rules for the operation of medical institutions depending on the level of air threat. At the yellow level<\/strong> hospitals will continue to operate, while at the red<\/strong> level patients and medical staff must go to shelters.<\/p>\n

This was reported on 21 September 2026<\/strong> by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Serhii Koretskyi<\/strong>. The corresponding statement was also published by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

At the yellow level<\/strong> medical institutions continue to operate in normal mode. At the same time, staff, patients and visitors must be provided with full access to shelters.<\/p>\n

At the red level<\/strong> patients and medical personnel must move to shelters. At the same time, medical care the interruption of which may pose a danger to a person’s life or health will continue to be provided. This includes, in particular, surgeries, resuscitation measures and intensive care<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Patients who cannot be quickly moved to shelters will continue to be treated in the safest rooms of the medical facility.<\/p>\n

\n

“In shelters and such rooms it is possible to provide medical care, dispense medicines and place patients,” Koretskyi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A separate procedure has been defined for emergency medical care<\/strong>. It will operate continuously regardless of the level of air threat. Patients with urgent conditions must be accepted at both the yellow and red levels<\/strong>. Dispatch services will continue to receive calls, and ambulance crews will continue to respond to patients.<\/p>\n

The government also instructed to strengthen the protection of operating rooms, intensive care units, maternity and emergency departments<\/strong>, as well as rooms with backup power sources and critically important medical equipment. Special attention should be given to places where patients who cannot be quickly moved are located.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the government introduced two levels of air threat. The yellow level<\/strong> will be applied by default in the event of a threat of drone attacks, and the red<\/strong> level \u2014 in case of an increased threat of a missile or combined strike.<\/p>\n
