Respiratory diseases are a serious health problem due to their wide prevalence, not always adequate treatment, sufficiently high probability of developing complications, and frequent formation of disability. One of the important tasks of the development of rehabilitation medicine in the resorts of Russia is to improve programs for the recovery treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases. The spread around the world of a new coronavirus infection, with the most frequent lung damage, has set a new task – the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered pneumonia caused by COVID-19. It is necessary to develop regional standards for sanatorium-resort medical rehabilitation, which made it possible to rationally use the recreational potential of the coastal climatic resorts of Crimea for patients with various respiratory diseases.
