A new health care facility opened three years ago on the grounds of a former preventative care facility of the coal strip mine - republican center for rehabilitative medicine for veterans of Great Patriotic War and military activities. The head of the region, Sholban Kara-ool insisted on the necessity of creation of such a center. It was on his instructions that the almost completely derelict building was totally renovated, and the first veterans underwent a course of therapy  there by 9 May of 2008.
