Medical care has concentrated in larger settlements, first of all in the regional capital Kyzyl, the total number of medical institutions in the region has decreased, and the amount of medical and inpatient aid took a sharp decrease.

This concentration has its positive and negative aspects.https://nit.tuva.asia/nit/article/view/868здравоохранениемедицинаистория медициныТувамедицинские работникиистория Тувысоветский периодпостсоветский период |
