Bagabagt Sanatorium: Meeting International Standards

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 Kopetd

Bizzare medlar

In the last month of autumn, a colleague gave me an unusual fruit called Mespilus germanica, or yemshen. I knew about the tree from literature, but I have never seen it in nature. In appearance, the fruit looks like an undeveloped pomegranate, a large-fruited rosehip or a wild apple (arnap), it tastes tart, astringent like quince or unripe persimmon, but after it stays frozen for several days, it tastes as sweet as aromatic applesauce with fresh acidity and quince aftertaste. According to botanists, in the past years the medlar grew wild in several small bushes in the South-Western Kopetdag, in the Gyuen gorge near the Chendir River in Magtymguly etrap and was one of the very rare plants. Over the past 20 years, there have been several futile attempts to find it in these places. Scientists had to admit that the species fell out of the flora of Turkmenistan. The species was studied little. It was not included in any of the three editions of the national Red Data Book, and the experiment of the cultivation of it at the Botanical Gardens was not crowned with success. Then the scientists tried to cultivate the plant with limited planting material: to accelerate the fructification of trees and preserve their varietal characteristics. In 2016, they grafted the buds taken from the Botanical Garden on the rootstock – hawthorn and pear tree cuttings. By the way, medlar is a close
