Over 22,000 pensioners to use free spa service in next four years

Minister of Labour and Social Policy Dime Spasov visited Saturday a spa center in Debar to meet with pensioners using the free service for spa recreation offered by the Government.

After talking with the pensioners and visiting the premises of Capa spa, Minister Spasov said the pensioners were satisfied with the Government's project and with the service provided there.

"Since launching the project for free spa recreation, over 22,000 pensioners have used the service... Huge interest has been shown and as a result the project will be resumed in the coming years," Spasov stated adding that additional 22,000 pensioners would be covered in the next four years.

The Government, he added, is mulling to realize similar projects in the future as a way to improve the living standards for senior citizens in Macedonia.
