“In Russia was created by the health tourism at a high enough level. It is very important, and we invite the Committee to develop measures for restoration and development of sanatorium-resort complexes of Russia and state support of Russian resorts”, – said the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on social policy Inna Svyatenko.
