The sanatoria Archman and Yylysuv are well-known far beyond the country. Being situated at the picturesque foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains, 130 kilometres west of Ashgabat, they have been attracting people for many decades with their unique life-giving sources of mineral water, and in the last decade – with favourable conditions for recreation and modern medical technologies. Today, these health resorts offer comprehensive health improvement and preventive measures, which, according to scientists, improve the health status 1.5 times. Moreover, the use of natural healing resources in combination with advanced medical technologies increases the effectiveness of medical treatment by 25-30 per cent.
Unlike its “neighbour”, Archman has “stepped over” its centenary long ago. The sanatorium, located in the place of Degirmendag on the territory of the Baherden etrap, Ahal velayat, at an altitude of 157 metres above sea level, has been operating since 1915. In 2009, a new building for 420 guests and the renovated building for 500 guests opened. Today, the sanatorium for 920 visitors meets the world standards and provides services all the year round.
