Balneological clinics at general health resorts are usually designed with 20 to 80 baths; balneological clinics at sanatoriums have six to 15 baths. Sometimes balneological clinics are combined with health resort polyclinics. Booths for immersion intestinal baths, shower-massage, irrigation, gargling, enemas, and so forth, therapeutic pools, showers, physical culture rooms, massage rooms, inhalation treatment rooms, and so forth, are built at some balneological clinics.
