Militarnyi previously reported that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has launched a pilot project to rehabilitate military personnel. The project's main task is to create an effective rehabilitation space with the participation of civilian and military healthcare facilities, social services, and local governments.

Priority tasks include unification of standards and protocols, end-to-end monitoring, and control of results. The reform process also involves the formation of the so-called effective patient route. Such a route will be based on the prognosis of their further treatment and rehabilitation, as well as the determination of a specialized institution in accordance with the characteristics of their injuries and diseases.
