The Republic of Tyva is rich in recreational resources. Medicinal springs, the so-called Arzhaans, brine and therapeutic mud of salt lakes have been used by the population of the republic for the treatment of various diseases.

The new Republican Centre for Public Health and Medical Prevention, which has been established, is responsible for the implementation of these programmes.
