Adaptation of individuals to shifted duty work in the presence of "polar strain syndrome" appeared to induce disturbances of natural work and rest rhythms. Therefore, health changes occur, especially in shifted duty expeditions connected with frequent flights from Central and Southern regions of Russia to Far North and vice versa. Conditions of gas extraction in Far North necessitated creation of adequate system of medical care. Such system constructed and tested in Nadym district could produce real medical, social and economic effects.
