In our crazy time, when everything costs money, it turns out that there are still disinterested altruists who strive to give all their strength to the happiness of others. To verify this, it is enough to come to the tuberculosis sanatorium “Ples”. The feedback from those who have been here is full of sincere gratitude for the kind attitude, attention, sensitivity and much more. If the sanatorium had not such a sincere, almost homely atmosphere, it would hardly have been possible for someone to live here for 1.5-2 months. These are the long periods of treatment in this unique health resort. A huge plus of the sanatorium is all the procedures. Accommodation and meals are provided free of charge. A huge minus - with all the desire, the sanatorium cannot accept everyone who wants to relax and heal here.

Children's sanatorium "Ples" (Ivanovo region). Reviews
In the city of Ples, on Kalinina street, house 4, at the boarding house for cultural workers there is a children's sanatorium “Ples”, which many call the pioneer camp in the old way. Children are not only treated here, they are involved with them (there is a training base), they conduct sports and recreational activities, and excursions.
