The chairman in trade union of students at NMU Vlasiy Pylypko told about the changes that took place in the camp. “Before the price of voucher was low for students because the fund of social insurance that sponsored the sanatorium-preventorium paid 90% from the cost of vouchers, and they took the decision to transfer the sanatorium-preventorium for summer period to the camp “Medic”. The number of vouchers was limited, i.e. 75 per shift that lasted for 21 days, with shift changes as only 2 shifts were possible. At the end of 2014 the fund of social insurance stopped financing, thus, in 2015 only 24 students managed to improve their health because of high cost of voucher. This year the situation is absolutely different: the university administration found the possibility for free health improvement of students, the uniform condition – the number of campers shall be not less than 200 per one shift. Let’s remind that there will be four such shifts, – emphasized the chairman in Trade union.

On the first day of shift they held the briefing on rules of behavior and internal regulations of campers at health and sports camp “Medic” to students.

Such number of students has not been in the camp since 1957, since its establishment. The trade union of students at NMU and campers thank the administration for possibility to have a rest in ecologically friendly zone near Kyiv, to be in the bosom of sincere friends and to enjoy the nature.
