Today, a briefing was held at the Regional Communications Service of Shymkent on the results of safety measures during the heating season. The meeting was attended by the acting head of the State Fire Control Department of the Shymkent Department of Emergency Situations, civil defense major Ordabek Rauan Nurlybekovich, and the deputy head of the city's Environmental Quality and Control Department Abdinurov Malik Kuttymbetovich. As it became known during the briefing, large-scale preventive measures were carried out in Shymkent during the 2025–2026 heating season to prevent fires and toxic gas poisoning. 62,589 residential buildings were visited in the city, and 148,385 residents were explained the requirements for fire safety and gas safety. Of these, 1,073 families from socially vulnerable categories were covered. Together with the district akimats, a detailed list of socially vulnerable groups was developed and targeted work was carried out with them. As a result, 123 gas detection devices were installed and the chimneys of 55 residential buildings were cleaned. Special attention was also paid to informing the population. 293 materials were published in the media, and 370 propaganda campaigns were carried out in microdistricts through loudspeakers. In addition, 130 information materials were distributed on social networks. 103 interactive and open lessons were held in educational institutions, involving 4,980 students, and 37 excursions were organized in fire departments, involving 819 students. 190 meetings and 84 instructions were held throughout the city, involving 6,232 residents.

In 2025, preventive measures were carried out in 231,014 residential buildings across the city, including 105,533 multi-storey and 125,481 individual residential buildings, as well as 3,185 business facilities. As a result, 231,000 gas safety brochures were distributed. In 2026, explanatory work was carried out in 39,372 residential buildings and 159 business facilities, and 32,000 brochures were distributed. In addition, administrative measures are being taken against citizens who violate the safety requirements for gas consumption and the use of gas equipment.

Female Penal Colony Staff in Abai Region Help Pavlodar Resident Safely Return HomeStaff members of the female penal colony of the Abai regional correctional system assisted a Pavlodar resident and his minor son who were trapped in the snow after a long visit with his wife.Due to a sudden deterioration in weather conditions, their car was completely covered in snow, and the family could not continue their journey home on their own.The 52-year-old man had come to the facility with his 15-year-old son to visit his wife, who is serving a sentence. While they were on this extended visit in the village of Shuak, the weather suddenly worsened — strong winds and heavy snowfall made travel impossible. As a result, the family’s car was completely buried in snow and could not move.Finding themselves in a difficult situation far from home, the man and his son struggled to get the vehicle out. The facility staff on duty noticed the situation and immediately came to their aid. Using their own efforts and official equipment, they cleared the snow, freed the car from the drifts, and ensured the family could continue their journey safely.Thanks to the coordinated and prompt actions of the colony staff, the family was able to depart safely and return to Pavlodar."My son and I found ourselves in a very difficult situation — the car was completely covered in snow, a blizzard was raging around us, and the road was barely visible. Honestly, I was at a loss and didn’t know how to get out. At that moment, the colony staff came to help. They did not just perform their duties, but showed true human compassion. It meant a lot to me to feel that caring people were there in a difficult moment. I sincerely thank everyone who helped us return home safely," shared the Pavlodar resident."Our staff are always ready to help people, regardless of the circumstances. In this situation, it was not just about fulfilling official duties, but also about human responsibility, care, and support. We are proud that our team acted promptly, worked together, and did not leave people in trouble," said the head of the facility, Ualikhan Zhumashev.Such cases once again confirm that employees of the penal system not only maintain order and security but also demonstrate high moral standards by assisting citizens in difficult life situations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ps/press/news/details/1158760?lang=kk

In an environment of openness and constant interaction between the state and society, issues of official ethics take on particular significance. The level of public trust in government agencies, the quality of services provided, and the overall image of the civil service directly depend on the behavior of civil servants.In the Republic of Kazakhstan, standards of official ethics are enshrined in the Ethical Code of Civil Servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan, approved by Decree No. 153 of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 29, 2015.Basic Principles of Official EthicsThe Ethical Code establishes that, when performing official duties, civil servants are obligated to:• observe the law, principles of fairness, and impartiality;• respect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens;• avoid actions that undermine trust in the civil service;• be polite, correct, and tactful when interacting with citizens.Off-duty Conduct and ReputationThe Ethical Code applies not only to off-duty activities. Civil servants must remember that their off-duty behavior, including social media activity, also impacts the reputation of the civil service.The Code stipulates that civil servants must:• refrain from actions that could provoke public condemnation;• prevent the dissemination of false information;• adhere to generally accepted standards of morality and business ethics.Responsibility for Violating Ethical StandardsViolating the requirements of the Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action. The primary goal of the Ethics Commissioner is to prevent violations and foster a culture of conscientious and respectful behavior, not punitive measures.In conclusion, it should be noted that service ethics is not a formality, but an important tool for improving the quality of civil service. Polite treatment of citizens, adherence to business communication standards, and the personal responsibility of each civil servant contribute to strengthening public trust in the state and fostering a positive image of the civil service as a whole.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1158764?lang=kk

The participants noted that the document was developed in accordance with the new stage of the country's development. According to the participants of the meeting, the new draft Constitution is an important document based on public demand and aimed at socio-economic and legal development. In particular, the norms related to the healthcare sector attracted special attention from medical workers. During the discussion, special attention was paid to Article 32 of the draft Constitution, i.e. the right of citizens to health protection and the mechanisms for its implementation. According to the draft, the rights of citizens in the field of health protection are ensured in two main directions. In particular, the right to receive free medical care within the limits established by law is preserved, as well as the possibility of using paid medical services in the manner prescribed by law. Gulnar Kurmanbekova, the chief physician of the city's emergency room, emphasized the social significance of the changes in the new draft Constitution and called on medical workers to support the project. – The right of citizens to receive medical care will remain unchanged within the scope established by law.

This will give a positive impetus to the sustainable development of the healthcare system, – he said. In addition, the meeting emphasized that the draft new Constitution is a people-oriented document. It identifies human rights as a strategic priority of the state. It was noted that the special attention paid to the areas of healthcare, education, and science is a clear reflection of this direction.

Корь остаётся одним из наиболее заразных вирусных инфекционных заболеваний, представляющих серьёзную угрозу для общественного здоровья. Инфекция передаётся воздушно-капельным путём и способна быстро распространяться среди непривитого населения, вызывая вспышки заболевания и тяжёлые осложнения.Наибольшему риску заражения подвержены дети, беременные женщины, а также лица с ослабленным иммунитетом. Корь может протекать с высокой температурой, выраженной интоксикацией, поражением дыхательных путей и характерной кожной сыпью. Среди возможных осложнений — пневмония, отит, энцефалит и другие тяжёлые последствия.Основным и наиболее эффективным способом профилактики кори является вакцинация. Плановая иммунизация, проводимая в соответствии с Национальным календарём профилактических прививок, обеспечивает формирование стойкого иммунитета и значительно снижает риск заболевания. Вакцинация защищает не только конкретного человека, но и способствует формированию коллективного иммунитета, предотвращая распространение инфекции в обществе.В целях предупреждения кори важно своевременно проходить вакцинацию и ревакцинацию, соблюдать меры профилактики, а при появлении первых симптомов заболевания незамедлительно обращаться за медицинской помощью. Особое значение имеет повышение информированности населения о важности иммунизации как надёжного способа защиты здоровья и жизни.Профилактика кори — это совместная ответственность государства, медицинского сообщества и каждого гражданина. Своевременная вакцинация остаётся ключевым условием сохранения эпидемиологического благополучия и защиты здоровья населения.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-karabalyk-mihailov/press/news/details/1158484?lang=kk
