Mobilization of female doctors

One of the current news that shook the information space is the military registration of women with medical and pharmaceutical specialties. This news is actively discussed and raises many questions in the audience. Therefore, it is worth considering them carefully in order to understand what is the truth and what is a myth.

Are the concepts of military accounting and mobilization identical?

No, these concepts are not identical, and registration does not mean automatic mobilization. It is clear that a person's entry into the list of conscription categories of the population enables further conscription into the army for the relevant specialties, but this does not mean that registration will necessarily continue in the form of mobilization.

Will female doctors be banned from traveling abroad?

According to the new legislative norms, on October 1, female doctors and pharmacists will need to register for the military. At the same time, representatives of the State Border Service assure that there is currently no ban on traveling abroad for female doctors. The Ministry of Defense also talks about this, but adds that a special government resolution is needed so that this category is not subject to the requirement to ban departure. Therefore, there should be no problems with travel.

What are the grounds for postponing mobilization?

Our team strongly believes that it is too early to think so far in advance, because the registration itself will take some time. At the same time, let us remind you what are the grounds for postponing mobilization. Including:

• properly arranged care for a close relative or spouse who needs it and who no longer has anyone to care for;
• raising a minor child alone;
• raising 3 or more minor children;
• unsuitability for military service due to health;
• husband's service in the Armed Forces;
• the presence among close relatives of those who died or went missing during ATO/OOS and full-scale war.

Thus, significant issues are carefully regulated by legislation, so that people who cannot perform military service have a reason not to be called up for military service. But here it is worth repeating the opinion that we have already mentioned above - registration is not equal to necessary mobilization. Therefore, you should not worry ahead of time. The main thing is to always have at hand the phone of reliable lawyers who can help with consultation or representation of interests in interaction with authorized bodies, if such a need really arises.

The military record of women is a touchy and difficult topic that is often tried to gain views using clickbait headlines. However, this actually leads to the fact that a lot of information is presented manipulatively and the audience gets stressed. The same can be said about unprofessional analysis of legislative norms, where relevant information is mixed with dubious or frankly false data.
