Спитай Гриця - Доступні ліки

«Спитай Гриця» (Ask Hrytsia) is a Ukrainian-language Telegram bot designed to help Ukrainian citizens navigate the national "Affordable Medicines" (Доступні ліки) state program. The bot explains step-by-step how to obtain subsidized or free prescription drugs and directs users to the nearest participating pharmacies. The bot serves as a concise informational assistant: upon launching with /start, users are greeted with a main menu from which they can learn about the program, find pharmacies, and receive guidance on what medicines are available under the program. Monetisation is absent — the bot is a public-service tool aligned with Ukraine's state healthcare initiative. There are no payments, subscriptions, or paywalls of any kind. The goal is purely civic: to ensure every Ukrainian has frictionless access to affordable treatment. The target audience is Ukrainian residents — particularly those who may be unfamiliar with the government reimbursement program or who need help locating a nearby participating pharmacy quickly.
