However, the Ombudsman noted, in the event of the death of servicemen, cells are subject to disposal, and this has caused public resonance. The Commissioner suggested that the budget expenditures on the cryopreservation of reproductive cells and in the state budget for 2025 these proposals were taken into account. In addition, he emphasized, in 2024, treatment of infertility was introduced within the framework of the medical guarantee program.
In particular, 20 contracts were concluded with medical institutions using 1,080 people. UAH 106. 5 million was allocated for the implementation of the program. Lubinets believes that Ukraine needs to strengthen the information of citizens about the possibilities of state medical guarantees and improve the legislation on biological paternity.
"The issue of reproductive health and preserving the gene pool of the Ukrainian people is critical and should be a priority of public policy," the Ombudsman stressed. We will remind, on March 21, 2023 in the Verkhovna Rada supported the bill №8011, which allowed the Ukrainian military for free to store their reproductive cells in kriobank.
