Physical medicine and rehabilitation
Health from the ancient Pannonian Sea
NAFTALAN, a special hospital for medical rehabilitation uses a unique natural deposit of medicinal oil, naphthalan, and special salty thermo-mineral waters, a priceless treasure left by the ancient Pannonian Sea when it retreated from these areas two million years ago.
The deposit of medicinal oil, naftalan, is the only one of its kind in Europe, and only the second recorded in the world, which makes the Naftalan Special Hospital and the entire region a health phenomenon on a global scale.
This modern health care center is unobtrusively integrated into nature, at the sources of healing thermal water, surrounded by a centuries-old park.
