Hospitalization

Hospitalization to the clinical departments of the National Cancer Institute is carried out on working days from 08:00 to 16:00 (the exact time will be specified by your doctor).

Our specialists will help you complete all stages of the admission process – from registration to placement in the department.


A doctor of the National Cancer Institute may refer you for planned hospitalization if:

  • specialized treatment of a malignant tumor is required (for example, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy);
  • it is impossible to establish a diagnosis during an outpatient consultation and additional examinations are needed;
  • symptomatic or rehabilitation treatment is necessary, which can only be provided in specialized conditions;
  • treatment of benign tumors of various localizations is required under inpatient conditions.
Conditions of hospitalization:
  • Planned hospitalization is carried out upon referral from the Institute’s polyclinic doctor or another clinical department.
  • Patients referred for hospitalization must undergo outpatient examinations in the scope defined by the Institute’s approved local protocols.
  • For citizens of Ukraine, hospitalization is free of charge (covered by the National Health Service of Ukraine within the Medical Guarantees Program).
  • For foreign citizens, treatment is provided on a contractual basis, unless otherwise stipulated by international agreements or applicable legislation.
Documents and examinations required upon admission:
  • passport or other identity document;
  • results of examinations and tests conducted on an outpatient basis;
  • decision of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) on treatment strategy;
  • on site, sign a written consent for the processing of personal data and for examinations and treatment;
If the patient is a child:
  • birth certificate;
  • vaccination record (preferably).
If the patient is a foreign citizen:
  • it is recommended to clarify the procedure with the Call Center or with a consulting doctor.

Cases when hospitalization is not possible:

We care about the safety of all patients. Therefore, hospitalization is not carried out if the patient has:

  • emergency conditions not related to complications of the oncological process;
  • exacerbation of chronic infectious or other comorbid diseases that prevent special treatment;
  • absence of required examinations as stipulated by the Institute’s clinical protocols.

Recommendations for patients before hospitalization:

  • Be sure to bring the full set of required documents and results of tests and examinations.
  • If you have any questions regarding hospitalization – please contact the reception or call the Call Center. We are always ready to help.
