The Ministry of Health has united volunteer initiatives for telephone medical consultations and is launching a single number for remote telephone consultations, Health Minister Viktor Liashko said.

"The Ministry of Health has united the initiatives of consulting doctors by phone and now you can remotely receive consultations from narrow-profile doctors at telephone number 0 800-60-20-19. You dial the number, tell the operator about the problem, and you are switched to a narrow-profile specialist," he said on the air of a telethon on ICTV on Thursday.

"I would like all volunteer initiatives to contact the Ministry of Health and unite so that this is a single number where you can get help," the minister stressed.
