A new service has been introduced in the Kostanay Regional Hospital — remote medical consultations. This is a significant innovation that allows residents of remote settlements to receive qualified medical care without leaving their district.The service was launched at the end of 2024 and already in January 2025, specialists of the regional hospital conducted 13 online consultations. Most often, patients consulted a urologist and a neurologist, but all specialists in the therapeutic and surgical fields have the opportunity to receive a consultation. It is important to note that this year, scarce specialists — a hematologist and an allergist — arrived at the hospital, which expands the possibilities of medical care.How does an online consultation work?Remote consultations are conducted only for patients who have already had an initial offline appointment. The doctor prescribes examinations that the patient undergoes at his district clinic, and then transmits the results — tests, images — in electronic format. Based on them, the specialist conducts an online consultation, most often via the WhatsApp messenger.– This is especially convenient for elderly patients and those who do not have the opportunity to travel to the regional center often, – notes the head of the outpatient clinic Saule Mendykulova.Saving time and moneyRural residents have already appreciated the benefits of the new service. For example, Svetlana Klein, a resident of the Fyodorovsky district, notes that remote consultation significantly simplifies the process of receiving medical care:– For us, every trip to Kostanay means additional expenses and physical exertion, especially for the elderly. Now you can simply send the results of examinations and receive doctor's recommendations online, – Svetlana shares.Additional medical servicesThe regional hospital is also expanding the range of available medical examinations. Now patients are offered comprehensive diagnostic programs Check-up in cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, urology. All examinations are carried out within one day, and the patient receives the results and recommendations immediately.In addition, a minor surgery service is planned to be launched in the near future, which will allow a number of medical issues to be resolved on an outpatient basis, without the need for a long hospital stay.For detailed information on remote consultations, diagnostic services and appointments, please contact the registry of the Kostanay Regional Hospital or the unified patient support service.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/937668

With the help of digital technologies, we intend to make the daily life of citizens as easy as possible and achieve equal opportunities for everyone," said President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.During 2024, Kazakhstan realized substantial outcomes in carrying out the guidance provided by its leader.

Today, more than 93% of the population has access to electronic services through the eGov portal. 90.8% of public services are available via smartphones. The introduction of biometric identification and QR signatures has simplified the process of receiving electronic services - in a year, the people of Kazakhstan signed more than 23 million documents using QR codes.The goal of digital transformation in Kazakhstan is to make public services more convenient, accessible, and efficient.Here are just a few examples of digital solutions that have already brought tangible benefits to residents:- The digital military ID has completely replaced paper documents.- The voucher financing system has made the process of enrolling in kindergarten online transparent.- The introduction of the “Europrotocol” made it possible to register road accidents without the involvement of the police, reducing the time for receiving insurance payments from 40 to 5 days.- Automation of enforcement proceedings eliminated the participation of private bailiffs, reducing the financial burden on citizens.- Digitalization has simplified admission to kindergartens, schools, universities and dormitories, and also optimized processes in healthcare, social protection and registration services.By the year 2025, there are intentions to shorten the duration of 44 public services, shift 20 public services to a more proactive approach, and revamp 35 public services entirely. Millions of people in Kazakhstan are already experiencing the concrete benefits of digital transformation. Every initiative focuses on enhancing the ease of use, clarity, and availability of government services. Increasing the level of digitalization improves access to education, healthcare and social services, making them more convenient and fairer. A variety of public services are currently offered online, allowing users to avoid lines and paperwork.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/934672
