The computer equipment and the Internet connection up to the paramedic-midwifery center allow remote consultation with highly qualified experts, the possibility of electronic appointment with a doctor, which we will expand, and an appointment for medical research.

We need to give a priority to electronic recording, so that people can understand that by signing up electronically, they will be able to get to the doctor without a live queue at the appointed time and do not need to come two hours in advance and sit waiting for the study. The issuance of an electronic sick leave, and an electronic referral mechanism for medical and social expertise-all this will reduce the waiting time for patients and expand the capabilities of medical institutions,” Tatyana Belyaeva drew attention.
