Health ministry, state insurer offer some 200 survivors of terrorist attacks in Russia recuperative stay on Adriatic coast

The Czech Ministry of Health and the state-owned health insurance company, VZP, have, respectively, offered to provide nearly 200 survivors of the recent terrorist attacks in Beslan, Russia transportation to the Adriatic coast and accommodation there. The Czech government had earlier in the week outlined a plan in which three Czech ministries would coordinate a recuperative stay in the Czech Republic for the traumatised Russian children from Ossetia, with the interior ministry providing the facilities, the foreign ministry covering the finances and the health ministry providing psychological counselling and care.
