RESUMO
Primary care medicine is the first point of contact for a person in the healthcare system when they have a health-related issue that is not an emergency. After the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Ukraine gained its independence and started to move into modern primary care system. It was a long road, but now Ukraine has a modern primary care system with electronic medical services, new equipment, and higher salaries for general practitioners. In Ukraine, individual general practitioners have 1,800 to 2,000 patients each and provide medical care in outpatient clinics and also via telemedicine while focusing on patient needs. The war catalyzed the digitalization of primary care and made professional medical care more available for patients from different parts of Ukraine.
