Is it necessary to have a signed declaration with the family doctor to receive a sick list?

No, it is not required.

The procedure for obtaining a sick leave certificate:

1. Visit a doctor: You can visit any primary care physician (family doctor, general practitioner, or pediatrician), regardless of whether you have a signed declaration.
2. Examination and medical report: The doctor conducts a medical examination and establishes the fact of temporary disability.
3. Formation of a medical report: Based on the examination, the doctor enters the data into the electronic healthcare system (EHS) and generates a medical certificate of temporary disability (MTD).
4. An electronic sick leave certificate: The MTE is the basis for the automatic creation of an electronic sick leave certificate (e-sick leave certificate).

Where can I find a sick leave certificate? The electronic sick leave certificate is available in your personal account on the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
