Classes are held for Okhmatdyt employees, but anyone can join. This is an opportunity to beating professional burnout, to improve physical and psychological health.
This is stated in the message of the medical institution.
Okhmatdyt specialists save children’s lives every day, work hard and need physical and emotional recovery. At the beginning of the war, when the employees lived in Okhmatdyt for almost two months, the hospital organized classes in aikido, bachata, and salsa.
