Karagandian Anastasia Kuturman returned with a bronze medal from the Manama 2025 World Boccia Challenger international ranking tournament, which was held in Bahrain. In total, Kazakhstanis won two medals.170 athletes from 14 countries took part in the international tournament in Bahrain.

That's how I found Boccia. At the same time, I learned that in one of the inclusive schools in Astana, the physical education teacher, on his own initiative, conducted an optional course on boccia. So gradually, communicating, finding each other, we created the Kazakhstan Boccia Federation first, and then, two years ago, the regional one," said Gaukhar Akizhanova, Deputy President of the Boccia Federation for the Karaganda region.Anastasia Kuturman became one of the first athletes in Karaganda who became interested in boccia. Later, Aruzhan Zhenis joined, who also defended the honor of the Karaganda region in Bahrain.– At first, we announced fees and used the collected funds to purchase equipment for the game. In boccia, you need special balls that are expensive. Ramps are also required to bring the ball onto the playing field. For example, Aruzhan only plays with her fingertips, and she needed an expensive ramp provided by the Kazakh Federation," says Gaukhar Akizhanova.Currently, boccia is actively developing in Kazakhstan. The Boccia Cup will be held in Karaganda in May this year. And in August, the first international challenge will be held in Astana.Boccia is a Paralympic sport that can be practiced by people with cerebral palsy and other serious lesions of the central nervous system. This is a precision ball game similar to bowling. You can play boccia with your hands, fingers, and even with your mouth.To do this, some athletes need a special ramp that allows them to bring the ball onto the playing field.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/983330?lang=kk

Karaganda Medical University has become a platform for the international forum "Research and Innovation" in the field of biomedicine, dedicated to the Day of Science. It brought together scientists from France, China, the Netherlands, as well as leading Kazakhstani universities.— The Forum is not just a conference, but a platform for forming new scientific ties and developing joint projects. As well as the opportunity to compare scientific hours and learn from the best foreign experience," said Ermek Turgunov, Vice Rector for Scientific and Clinical Work at KMU. — We see how biomedicine is developing rapidly, and we try to keep up with the times. Such meetings are an investment in the health of future generations.Karaganda Medical University has been training masters in biomedicine for several years. According to Ermek Turgunov, one of the two collective use laboratories in the country is located here. It is currently being upgraded — by 2026 it is planned to bring the laboratory to the world level.— We look inside the body to understand how processes work, both normal and pathological. Without this, it is impossible to develop effective medicines. It is also important to understand who is doing this in other countries and how. The exchange of experience is key here," says Dmitry Klyuev, Director of the Institute of Life Sciences at Karaganda Medical University.The Forum has become an important event for young scientists. A separate section was dedicated to them. Dmitry Solyanov, a junior researcher at the university, sees a great future in biomedicine. He is currently engaged in research in the field of chromatography and gene editing, as well as developments in the field of prostate and breast cancer.— The prospects of biomedicine primarily lie in the fact that they benefit the whole of humanity. Even if at the moment it seems that our research is very expensive or looks too far into the future, is something from the field of futurism, every research, every development by a young scientist somehow reduces the cost of future technologies. And what seems inaccessible now will be able to improve the lives of thousands of people in a few years," Dmitry Solyanov believes.One of the speakers of the forum, Gregoire Prevost, President of the French CIPREVO Center (Cancer and Innovation), believes that the main goal of the international scientific dialogue is to develop collaboration and exchange best practices in the fight against chronic diseases and oncology. At the conference, he shared the results of a study that was conducted on small cell lung cancer cells and studied the effects of certain drugs.—Whether drugs that can defeat cancer will be created in the near future is a difficult question," says the French biologist. — Today, many scientists around the world are working on cancer treatment, but prevention is of primary importance. The main goal is to prevent the development of the disease. First of all, we are talking about a healthy lifestyle. This approach can significantly reduce the risk of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colon cancer.The conference participants covered a variety of topics related to molecular medicine, from genomics and DNA editing to digital healthcare and targeted therapies.Biomarkers, artificial intelligence, and the prevention of chronic diseases were also discussed during the sessions.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/979720?lang=kk
