Main Military Clinical Hospital of the National Guard
The Main Military Clinical Hospital of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, located in Balashikha, is a large multidisciplinary medical, preventive, and scientific-methodological center where centuries-old traditions are combined with advanced treatment methods. Highly qualified specialists work here. Every day, they save lives and return to duty the soldiers and officers of the National Guard, those who have dedicated their lives to protecting law and order in Russia, those who stand guard over the security of our country.
Music plays an important role in the healing of hospital patients.
