Georgia's government has prolonged free access to medical services for Ukrainian citizens who arrived in the country due to hostilities until 1 April 2026, reports Novosti-Gruziya (Georgia News).
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze signed the order extending the provision of free medical services for Ukrainians.
Under state programs, Ukrainian refugees have access to immunization, treatment for tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS, mother and child care, psychiatric support, diabetes treatment, dialysis, assistance with rare diseases, and continuous replacement therapy when needed. These same services are covered by state insurance for Georgian citizens.
The benefits apply to Ukrainians with permanent residence status in Georgia. This status remains valid during short-term trips lasting up to three days but is lost if individuals leave the country for extended periods.
The Georgian government previously reduced the visa-free stay period for Ukrainian citizens from three years to one year.
Despite strained relations between Kyiv and Tbilisi, Georgia recently signed an international agreement establishing a mechanism to distribute reparations obtained from Russian assets among Ukrainian citizens and businesses affected by Russian aggression.
