In Ukraine, you can purchase birth control without a prescription. You can find phasic and combined pills, and many of the brands come from Germany, Hungary and the USA. You can also find other contraceptive options like injectables, implants and IUDs. Emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is available as well. While some sources states that you need a prescription to purchase EC, locals seem to indicate that a prescription is not typically required (we'll need to research this a bit more to confirm). You can get free STI tests if you donate blood. Otherwise, you may need to pay a bit more money to have tests done at a local hospital or clinic. PEP is reportedly available in Ukraine, but there is no known national PrEP program yet. There is no nationwide HPV vaccination program. In Ukraine, maternity leave is provided (18 weeks of maternity leave with 100% of wages covered), though there appears to be no paternity leave policy. Abortion is legal under all circumstances for the first 12 weeks, and it is still available for certain circumstances up to 28 weeks. | |||
