- assists in obtaining certificates and restoring documents.
Currently, the center is equipped for 100 places, with the potential to expand to 200 or more by increasing the number of rehabilitation beds.
“We have also received the first suggestions and requests from military personnel and medical staff. All of these will be taken into account by the Ministry of Defense's Health Department. This marks a new phase in our work, and we are improving it every day in collaboration with the President's Office, the government, and relevant agencies,” emphasized Umerov.
