Wholesome recreation is essential to good health. President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov attaches particular significance to creating the conditions conducive to recreation and health improvement in our country. The main principle “The state is for the people!” is reflected in the specific projects, including the construction of healthcare facilities in all parts of the country. Our correspondent visited the Bagabat sanatorium to see how the Turkmen people recreate and improve their health there.
The Bagabat sanatorium is located at the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, not far from Ashgabat, in the Ak Bugday etrap, Ahal velayat. Since ancient times, local people have known legends about the life-giving air of this place. The studies conducted by Turkmen scientists have confirmed the beneficial effects of clean mountain air and walking in sunny weather on the physical health and wellbeing of people, their mood and state of mind. The choice of the place for the health resort in an ecologically clean and picturesque corner of nature is optimal. The sanatorium was built on the initiative of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. The Turkmen leader attended its opening ceremony last November. The sanatorium has departments for balneotherapy, water and mud therapy, consultations and diagnostics, physiotherapy and spa. Given that the sanatorium is located at the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, where the air is healing and medicinal herbs grow; it offers the conditions conducive to using widely the advanced methods of aromatherapy, heliotherapy and phytotherapy.
