Vedensky District

Vedensky District (Russian: Веде́нский райо́н; Chechen: Веданан кӏошт, Vedanan khoşt) is an administrative[1] and municipal[3] district (raion), one of the fifteen in the Chechen Republic, Russia.

The area of the district is 956 square kilometers (369 sq mi).

[citation needed] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Vedeno.

[2] Severe health problems in the district are interlinked with the critical socio-economic situation in the region.

As of 2005, access to district health services remains a problem due to the presence of federal and Chechen law enforcement and on-going military activities in the area.
