Maksimenko LL.

The analysis of the level and pattern of morbidity among rural adolescents indicates that the leading causes of visits both to out-patient and in-patient facilities are diseases of respiratory and digestive tract, diseases of the central nervous system and sense organs. To promote better health of rural adolescents it is recommended to establish in summer months preventive facilities at industrial training classes which will enable the adolescents to undergo a course of physiotherapy and drug treatment, medical physical exercises and phytotherapy.
