"The project of digitalizing medicine and the medical information system was launched last year, and now we have developed and built a network in all hospitals. And doctors have already started working, filling in data on the wounded, monitoring their movement from one healthcare facility to another. In order to optimize the use of the resource, to understand what kind of help a person has received and what kind of help is needed at the next stage, we are moving on to the next stage - the deployment of a medical information system in the medical structure in the military. Digital specialists are already working on this model, we are looking for and have already partially funded it. This is one of the priorities set by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy," Kalmykova said.
