Today, using the certificate, you can purchase about 270 different rehabilitation products, including individual products made to order. In total, since the beginning of the year, Sevastopol residents have purchased more than 26 thousand products, paying for them with electronic certificates in the amount of more than 63 million rubles— the press service quotes the manager of the regional branch of the SFR, Elena Gaivoronskaya.
