The term 'winter thousand' is shortened: you can spend up to December 24 for medicines.

According to ТСН: Until December 24, Ukrainians can apply to participate in the 'Winter Support' program and receive 1,000 hryvnias. This money can be spent on medicines.

Funds under this state program are transferred to a virtual card: either to the 'National Cashback' for applications submitted through 'Dii', or to a special account of 'Ukrposhta' for applications submitted at postal offices. These funds can be used until the end of June 2026.

Which pharmacies can use the 'winter thousand'

The list of pharmacies participating in the program can be found on the 'Winter eSupport' website. Among them are networks such as 'ANC', 'Podorozhnyk', 'Pharmacy 911', 'Wishing You Health', and others. In these pharmacies, you can purchase medical products using the 'National Cashback' virtual card.

Medicines or dietary supplements can also be ordered online from some pharmacies, for example, from 'ANC Pharmacy'. Orders can be made through medication lockers - the analogs of post machines.

What medicines can be purchased with the 'winter thousand'

The funds of the 'winter thousand' can be spent on a wide range of medical products. The total list consists of over 14 thousand items. Among them are dietary supplements, medical devices such as band-aids and syringes, as well as paracetamol for lowering temperature, over-the-counter pain relievers, cold remedies, medications for treating infections, dermatological preparations, and drugs for the heart and nervous system.

It is important that the medicines are produced in Ukraine and participate in the 'National Cashback' program.

For prescription medications, it is necessary to provide a prescription from a family doctor, issued during a personal or remote consultation. Prescriptions are issued by the name of the active substance so that the pharmacist can suggest medications from the approved list.

If a doctor prescribes a foreign medication, it is recommended to ask about the possibility of replacing it with a Ukrainian one that can be purchased with the 'winter thousand'.

Medicines for the 'winter thousand' at 'Ukrposhta'

Medicines are also available for ordering at 'Ukrposhta' offices. The conditions are similar to those that apply in pharmacies. The list of available medications can be found out from the postal office staff.

It is possible to order pharmacy sets or individual medicines through 'Ukrposhta' with delivery to stationary or mobile offices in any locality, including frontline areas. Orders can be made with cash on delivery and paid at the time of receipt of the medicines.

A separate category 'Winter Support 2025' has been created on the 'Ukrposhta.Pharmacy' website, where all allowed medicines are presented.

For the convenience of clients, 'Ukrposhta.Pharmacy' offers ready-made recommended sets, such as 'For Cold', 'For Temperature', 'For Nasal Congestion', 'For Peaceful Sleep', 'For Poisoning', 'Heart Care', and others. Each set can be customized according to your preferences by adding or excluding items. It is also possible to reserve medicines based on an electronic prescription.

It should be noted that in Ukraine it is possible to purchase products for the 'winter thousand'. It is important that the products are produced in Ukraine. Payment is made through special codes (MCC codes) that define the type of trading point.

This program will provide additional support to Ukrainians, especially in organizing treatment and healthy eating. 'Winter Support' can play an important role in ensuring access to essential medications and products, strengthening public health during difficult times.
