This is a striking illustration of the successful work to establish the principles of a healthy lifestyle in society, begun by the Arkadag and is continued by the Arkadag Serdar.

National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov arrived early in the morning at the square near the monument to the horse Akhan in Arkadag city.

The festive atmosphere of athletic, health-improving and sporting events was enhanced by inspired music and dance compositions, which became a kind of hymn to the period of the Revival of the New Epoch of the Powerful State, great initiatives of the Arkadag being successfully continued by the Arkadag Serdar.

The Arkadag congratulated the public on widely celebrated World Health Day and emphasized the importance of strengthening the principles of a healthy lifestyle in our society.

Then, having started a mass cycling marathon along the Akhan Avenue in the city of Arkadag, the National Leader of the Turkmen people led the column of its participants. In our country, human health is the main wealth of the state aimed at creating conditions for the people’s happy and prosperous life. At present, much attention is paid to the development of the mass physical training and Olympic movement, sports and culture, and the active attraction of the population, especially young people, to these activities.

Following the example of the Arkadag, a group of mass bike ride participants, having cycled around the square where the flagpole with the State Flag is located, continued their way along the streets of Arkadag city.

During the bike ride the Arkadag stopped near the Health and Rehabilitation Center named after Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, where he was met by the Deputy Head of the Charitable Foundation for Assistance to Children in Need of Guardianship named after Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the Executive Officer of the Halk Maslakhaty and the Director General of the Center. In a conversation with them, the Hero Arkadag said that special attention must be paid to maintaining cleanliness within the complex.

Noting that all the conditions for the provision of the highest level medical services are created in the Center, completed with modern equipment, the Arkadag suggested building residential buildings for medical personnel next to it.

Having examined the specialized facilities and swimming pools for children within the Center, the National Leader of the Turkmen people stressed the need to use them effectively, since swimming helps to recover and improve health in the postoperative period. The playgrounds here are covered with white sand, and this not only prevents injuries during games, but it is also good for children’s feet.

The Arkadag specified that a suitable site has to be chosen for the construction of a canteen for medical staff, and the sanitary condition of the area and the buildings must be constantly monitored.

The Hero Arkadag emphasized that all conditions for physical activity and high performance sports have been created here, which allows each person to strengthen physical health. This fact implies that we all choose health as our routine, the Arkadag said. Health increases interest in life, and its content.

Leaving the complex, the Arkadag asked about the inscriptions on the facade of buildings for the employees of the Center. All of them have to be noticeable, capacious in content, the Hero Arkadag said and gave instructions to the relevant leaders.

Having examined the specialized buildings near the residential houses for medical personnel, a building for ritual events, sports and children’s play grounds, the Hero Arkadag specified that their improvement must meet modern requirements, making several comments on their equipment, and giving relevant instructions.

Then the National Leader of the Turkmen people went to one of the apartments of the residential building and got acquainted with the layout of the rooms, their area and dimensions. The construction was carried out as part of the launched large-scale reforms designed to improve the living standard and wellbeing of people, and we are going to continue this activity, the Arkadag said.

Once again congratulating everyone on World Health Day, National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov wished them new great successes for the benefit of the country and the people.
