In light of difficulties faced by patients, the Medical Association has made an urgent appeal for the simplification of procedures within the National Patient Registry (RNU). The organization emphasized that current methods require patients to physically visit healthcare centers to update their information, in order to avoid losing subsidies for health services.

The request arose in a context where doctors have reiterated the need to make the process more agile and efficient, thereby improving the patient experience in healthcare. Health authorities have not yet responded to the request.
