"This is not a specific rehabilitation, since the disease is not investigated enough yet. Programs include additional diagnostics and procedures aimed at restoring breathing function, strengthening immunity, and so on. Crimea has historically been a health resort where respiratory tract diseases were treated first of all. Therefore, this direction, which is very much in demand against the background of the pandemic, will develop in the future," Vadim Volchenko said.
According to him, I.M. Sechenov Research Institution; Children's Balneology, Physiotherapy and Medical Rehabilitation Institution and Georgievsky Medical Academy are working on the development of Covid-19 programs in Crimea.
