The popularity of spa and sanatorium treatment continues to grow, and for good reason. A course of health-improving procedures at a sanatorium can help address a wide range of health issues while also providing an excellent opportunity for rest and relaxation. Sanatoriums are typically located in beautiful, environmentally clean areas, often within national parks and protected natural zones, making them ideal for recovery and wellness.
A trip to a sanatorium, like any journey, requires careful preparation, an important part of which is collecting the necessary documents.
Required Documents for Admission in 2026
- A valid Sanatorium Treatment Card (Form 072/u), issued no more than two months before arrival.
- Passport or another valid identity document (seafarer’s ID, military ID, foreign passport, etc.).
- If applicable, a voucher, referral, or authorization letter from an organization.
- Mandatory Health Insurance Policy.
