Georgia Extends Free Healthcare for Ukrainian Refugees

The Georgian government has extended a key support program for displaced Ukrainians. Those with permanent residence status will keep their free access to state healthcare until April 2026. This decision continues a policy first established after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It allows eligible refugees to use Georgia's medical services without charge. The extension provides stability for thousands of Ukrainians living in Georgia. It ensures continued access to doctors, hospitals, and essential treatments. Georgia has hosted a significant number of Ukrainians since 2022. The healthcare program is a major part of the country's humanitarian response. The April 2026 deadline sets a clear timeframe for the current policy. Future decisions will likely depend on the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
