In July 2008, “Girska Tysa” mineral sanatorium resumed its work after capital repairs, creating excellent conditions for treatment and recreation in the Carpathians, in close proximity to well-known ski resorts Dragobrat and Bukovel. At present, “Girska Tysa” is one of the best health resorts in Ukraine which specializes in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the peripheral nervous system.
