I did indeed spell it здравохранение. According to Google and Rambler, by far the more common (and presumably correct) spelling is здравоOхранение. However, this does not change the meaning of the word or the expression "coveri

Okay, Kevin. My initial variant was "освещая тему здравоОхранения", yours has two Os, how's it spelled(don't have a dictionary at hand right now)? Isn't it "охрана" rather then "хранение"?
