We want lifelong support for these people, so that in the most remote part of our country, everyone can go to their office and request a document, a consultation, sign up for a technical regulation, if necessary, if a person has received prosthetics, etc. That is, there should be this system that will constantly update, everyone can log in, check the box, and all the information about where they were injured, where they received treatment, prosthetics, what kind of help they received will be updated
