Ukrainian sanatoriums look very attractive against this background, but also expensive. There is a diverse modern set of services - but in most cases, treatment is not included in the price of the tour and is paid separately.
However, in Belarusian sanatoriums, procedures are prescribed according to the doctor's indications, while others are provided on a paid basis.
