In addition, the rehabilitation room is equipped with a complex from Sport-TeC Gmbh, which significantly contributes to the recovery of patients after injuries and operations.
Laying the Foundations of New Medical Centers
To mark the professional holiday, foundation-laying ceremonies were held for major medical institutions that will ensure the system's development for decades to come. These include a 500-bed multidisciplinary hospital in Ashgabat, a 300-bed multidisciplinary hospital in Tejen (Akhal Velayat), and a 400-bed Maternal and Child Health Center in Dashoguz.
These centers will be equipped with high-tech equipment, enabling specialized examinations and complex surgeries, taking healthcare to a new level of accessibility and quality.
Furthermore, outstanding construction workers at the new facilities received commemorative gifts, and new ambulances, donated on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan, have joined the ambulance fleet at the Mary Infectious Diseases Hospital.
