Our goal is to make medical tourism in Russia convenient and easy to understand. This agreement lets us pool private and public efforts to better develop the spa treatment industry and fulfill our country's potential, underpinned by our unique natural resources,” said Sergey Nechaev, General Director of VTB Medicine.
