The Government of the Russian Federation has been instructed to examine and generalise the best practices in organising prosthetic and orthopaedic care, particularly focusing on advanced prosthetics, to spread these successful experiences.
Another instruction concerns the inclusion of multi-stage sports competitions for people with disabilities or limited health capacities, which are to feature veterans of the special military operation, including the Cup of Defenders of the Fatherland, a nationwide all-inclusive sporting event for veterans of the special military operation, into the official schedule of athletic and sporting events. These events are to be mandatorily included annually in the unified calendar plan of interregional, national, and international athletic and sporting events, as well as in regional and municipal plans for such events.
The Russian Federation Government has also been instructed to ensure the development of a training programme for personnel in the national prosthetic and orthopaedic sector and to formulate an action plan for its implementation. This is to be done with consideration of the increasing demand for prosthetic and orthopaedic services in the context of the special military operation.
The Government, in cooperation with regional executive authorities, has also been instructed to devise an action plan to establish a network of regional prosthetic and orthopaedic rehabilitation institutions to guarantee the accessibility of these services for persons with a disability.
Instructions to the Government, in cooperation with regional executive authorities and with the involvement of the Russian Paralympic Committee, the Russian Deaflympic Committee, and local self-government bodies, pertain to the annual organisation of sports competitions at federal, regional, and municipal levels for people with disabilities and persons with limited health capacities, including veterans of the special military operation. This includes determining the scale and funding sources for these events and providing monetary awards for participants.
