Analysts cite several factors contributing to the market expansion. One of them is the continuing need for restorative medicine after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, there is a rehabilitation campaign for participants in the special operation and the civilian population affected by the hostilities. The development of the industry is also facilitated by improving the diagnosis of diseases and injuries, increasing public awareness of rehabilitation opportunities and improving the quality of medical care.
According to estimates, in 2019 the number of patients who underwent rehabilitation in Russia was 1.07 million people. In 2020, the indicator decreased by 7.2% - to 0.99 million, which is associated with a decrease in the availability of planned medical care. Against the background of the introduction of quarantine restrictions, institutions offering medical rehabilitation services suspended the admission of planned patients. In 2021, the number of consumers of rehabilitation services increased by 10% - to 1.09 million, and in 2022 an increase of another 8% was recorded. The driver was pent-up demand after severe coronavirus restrictions and recovery treatment.

In 2023, the share of recipients of such services from the total population of the country amounted to 0.9%. For comparison, in 2022 the indicator was 0.8%, and in 2020 - 0.68%. Since 2023, rehabilitation services under the compulsory medical insurance policy can be used "at home," which increases the availability of restorative treatment, and also reduces the burden on medical institutions.[1]

Despite a significant improvement in state funding, in 2023 about a quarter of disabled people in Russia were completely or partially not provided with means of care and medical rehabilitation.

The number of disabled people in Russia in 2023 reached 11 million people. The increase in the number of disabled men of working age is especially noticeable, their number increased by 27%. This increase is due to various factors, including the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and hostilities.

Services provided by private organizations to elderly citizens and people with disabilities also showed an increase of 17.5%.

Thus, a citizen himself will determine the supplier of a specific product, sending money to the seller from his electronic certificate.
It is specified that the connection of retail outlets to the new payment system depends on how soon acquiring banks processing customer payments will begin to support the electronic certificate system. It is expected that the first stage of the connection will end before the beginning of December 2021.

Thanks to well-coordinated work, several departments (Ministry of Labor, PFR, FSS, Treasury, National Payment Card System, Ministry of Digital Development, banks) managed to implement a unique comprehensive service. As a digital agency, we adhere to the principle of "Just outside, difficult inside..."
