For the first half of 2019, 31.2 thousand children of the Gomel region were sent to sanatorium-resort treatment and rehabilitation as part of organized groups.

Every year for the summer period for children of the Gomel region who suffered from the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, in addition to trips to sanatorium-resort organizations, tickets to children's health camps are purchased at the expense of the republican budget. In 2019, 2.7 thousand vouchers were purchased. In the first half of the year, more than 970 children have already rested on the indicated vouchers.
In total, in the first half of this year, as part of the State program to overcome the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, 33.2 thousand children received sanatorium-resort treatment and rehabilitation, including 119 disabled children.
