The old bureaucratic system of military medical commissions is going away. The state is creating new mechanisms that meet the challenges of the times. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Government meeting on September 5.

"One of the 10 priority reforms of our Government is titled "Dignity and Respect". It is a new veteran policy based on respect and support for our veterans. The changes are comprehensive, changes at all levels, starting with the infrastructure of the "first meeting," Denys Shmyhal emphasized.

According to the Prime Minister, although the reform is not yet complete, there are already first achievements. In particular, the number of military medical commissions has doubled, and almost 820 civilian hospitals are involved in the examinations of the MMCs.

"An electronic queue has been launched and 45,000 military personnel have already used it. We are introducing a principle whereby certificates follow the military. More than 80% of military units are connected to the electronic document management system. The process of issuing a certificate on the circumstances of a defender's injury has also been greatly simplified," the Prime Minister noted.

In parallel with the changes in the MMC, the reform of medical and social expert commissions continues. According to the Prime Minister, it envisages the introduction of an international classification of a person's health and needs, updating service packages in the social, medical, rehabilitation, educational, employment and digitalization sectors.
