Previously, the mission of the sanatorium was limited to curing only breast diseases. Nowadays, it is one of the few establishments struggling against tuberculosis.

Also, now, approximately 100 ill old people are being cured in one of the departments of the main building of the sanatorium. The future plans include further development and expansion till it reaches contemporary standards of general hospital and surgery.
