Construction of a new Hyundai Shin-Line Hospital in Almaty region: a large-scale project aimed at improving the quality of medical services 16.11.2024
В Алматинской области планируется строительство многопрофильной больницы, основанной на южнокорейских технологиях и опыте. Андрей Шин, известный бизнесмен в Казахстане, чья фамилия ассоциируется с производством мороженого, инициировал партнерство с главой южнокорейской больницы Hyundae Hospital, доктором Кимом Бу Сопом. Это сотрудничество стало основой для реализации проекта «Шин-Лайн Хёндэ», который находится на этапе подготовки.Своими намерениями партнёры поделились с акимом Алматинской области Маратом Султангазиевым, который оказал поддержку проекту, подписав меморандум о взаимопонимании. Новый медицинский центр будет расположен в селе Байсерке на площади около 15 тысяч квадратных метров и будет включать 200 коек. Проект, стоимость которого составляет 72 миллиона долларов, должен быть завершён к 2027 году и станет ключевым звеном в лечении тяжёлых заболеваний, включая кардиологию и нейрохирургию.Доктор Ким отметил, что его связь с Казахстаном началась в 2018 году, когда он впервые посетил Талдыкорган с целью оказания бесплатной медицинской помощи. С тех пор было проведено множество операций и консультаций, а более 150 медицинских специалистов прошли стажировку в Южной Корее. Доктор Ким подтвердил готовность продолжать это сотрудничество, ориентированное на повышение качества медицинских услуг в Казахстане.Андрей Шин подчеркнул, что проект ориентирован не только на коммерческую выгоду, но и на решение социальных задач. Он выразил надежду, что больница станет центром обмена знаниями и опытом между Казахстаном и Южной Кореей. Важным аспектом проекта будет образование местных специалистов.Ожидается, что реализация проекта создаст около 400 новых рабочих мест и обеспечит экономический эффект в размере 700 миллионов долларов. Марат Султангазиев подчеркнул, что проект «Шин-Лайн Хёндэ» станет образцом успешного международного сотрудничества и будет способствовать привлечению инвестиций в регион. В завершение встречи был подписан меморандум о взаимопонимании между «Шин-Лайн» и Hyundae Hospital.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/875759
