[The organizational status and tasks of sanatorium-health resort treatment and health promotion for children suffering as a result of the Chernobyl catastrophe].

: Al the Ukrainian Research Institute of Childhood Health-Resortology and Physiotherapy, more than 1000 children who became victims of the Chernobyl disaster were studied for their health status and time-related indices of same under the influence of the chief health-resort factors with the aid of the present-day clinical-and-laboratory, immunobiochemical, neurophysiological and radioimmunoassay techniques. The efficacies of the instituted therapies (87.9%) suggest that the above children may derive benefit from treatment at the Yevpatoriya health resort, with improvement of their health being consequent upon it. At the same time, primary tasks have been outlined, the solution of which tasks will, we believe, help in improving the diagnosis and quality of the treatments administered.
