Russian term

оздоровление

Russian to English Medical Medical (general) поездки на оздоровление
Я перевожу соглашение между двумя государствами об условиях выезда несовершеннолетних граждан одного из них в другое с целью оздоровления.

Насколько я понимаю никаких медицинских процедур это не предусматривает и целью поездки является самое обыкновенное проживание в семьях и культурная программа.

Мне ничего нормального в голову не приходит. Единственное - rehabilitation, поскольку дети пострадавшие в результате аварии на Чернобыльской АЭС.

ОЧЕНЬ прошу не предлагать варианты из Мультитрана и т.д.

recuperation

That's what comes to my mind. It involves resting and recovering, but no medical procedures. Here are some definitions:

Hope that helps.
Note from asker:
I have always thought of recuperation as recovery from a specific illness but looking at those definitions I think that may be an option!
Peer comment(s):

agree Valery Kaminski : Yes, that seems to be the word!

agree Intrada : The Russian text is contradictory: they provide some recreation to the children and call this оздоровление. However in an intergovernmental agreement the term should be recuperation/rehabilitation, even though strictly speaking this is neither.

neutral Alexander Demyanov : It doesn't seem that the children, be them from the disaster area, have necessarily been sick before taking the trips in question.

Thanks, RusAnna!
agree Intrada : I just thought about writing Программа/проект оздоровления on the front page.// Just extrapolation from past experience. If the asker does not need a noun, I agree with your variant.

I don't get this concern. Why will it have to be a noun? Is there a new ban on use of verbs, adverbs, adjective, etc., in agreements? Also, do you think "purpose" is a noun?//Thanks for your understanding!
agree Jennifer Guernsey : Yes, I think this works better than recuperation, since there was no illness--though they can also be recuperating from emotional trauma, I suppose. But I think the purpose was mostly just to get them away from the radiation.

Thanks, Jennifer. This may quite be the intent - let them spent some time in a healthier environment.
