On February 5, a meeting was held in the city of Turkestan on new approaches to rural development, including the issue of unifying two large-scale projects - "Aul Amanat" and "Aul - El Besighin". The event was held as part of a working visit to the region chaired by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan K. Bozumbayev. During the visit, a delegation consisting of representatives of central government bodies, regional akimats and entrepreneurs visited the "Turkestan" SEC industrial park and got acquainted with the products of the "Aul Amanat" project and the experience of building a small industrial zone. During the meeting, Vice Minister of National Economy Bauyrzhan Omarbekov made a report, spoke about the work done under the "Aul - El Besighin" and "Aul Amanat" projects, and proposed new approaches to the integrated development of rural areas. In recent years, the state has invested significant resources in rural development. 701 billion tenge was allocated for the development of rural infrastructure within the framework of the "Aul - El Besighin" project. Thanks to this, 6.6 thousand projects were implemented in 2.6 thousand villages (including 774 projects in the field of housing and communal services, more than 2 thousand social infrastructure projects and 3.8 thousand transport infrastructure projects).Also, within the framework of the "Aul Amanaty" project, 17 thousand soft microloans were provided for an amount of more than 100 billion tenge. This allowed creating more than 17 thousand jobs, 400 agricultural cooperatives, 337 of which were financed for 7.1 billion tenge.In this regard, Bauyrzhan Omarbekov noted that the consolidation of projects will allow to synchronize their implementation, strengthen infrastructure support, use funds more efficiently, and ensure the integrated development of rural areas.The screening system, which determines the priority areas and development potential of each settlement, plays an important role in this process. For example, if livestock farming is developed in the region, the main focus will be on supporting and developing meat and dairy production, including product processing, creating cooperatives and logistics centers.If the village has preserved the tradition of gardening and vegetable growing, priority will be given to developing agricultural cooperation, processing products (juice, jam, jam, preserves, etc.), creating greenhouses, and logistics. Thus, screening will not only identify villages in need of support, but also allow each village to develop an independent development strategy so that the investment is most effective.In addition, the criteria for assessing the development of rural settlements will be revised, increasing the share of the economic factor. This will allow other villages to be covered by the program.It is also necessary to reconsider the reallocation of funds within the framework of the "Auyl Amanaty" project. Priority will be given to projects that provide for the creation of cooperatives, processing, and the development of non-agricultural activities that ensure the entire production cycle from cultivation to sale.The plan includes the introduction of new tools of state support, such as training entrepreneurs, creating small industrial zones, providing engineering infrastructure for "Aul Amanaty" facilities, developing cooperation, supporting processing and creating a logistics supply chain."As a result of the measures taken, new jobs will be created, infrastructure will be modernized, local employment and entrepreneurial activity will increase, as well as state support will be strengthened. This will create additional opportunities for the sustainable development of villages," the vice minister said.It is planned to implement new mechanisms and methods of integrating projects in the Turkestan region as part of a pilot project. It will subsequently be expanded to other regions. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/932211

The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that with the help of digital technologies, our country seeks to make the daily lives of citizens as easy as possible and ensure equal opportunities for all people. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to move to a fundamentally new level of digitalization of public administration.“The essence of this approach is that the main direction of state policy is directed at the person, his needs and interests,” the Head of State noted.The digital transformation of Abai region demonstrates significant achievements in creating infrastructure for “smart” cities and developing the IT sector of the region. With the approval of the Roadmap for the creation of “smart” cities in Semey, which includes 27 projects (17 basic and 10 additional), the region is confidently moving towards integrating high-tech solutions in urban resource management. Akim of Abai region Nurlan Urankhayev spoke in detail about digital innovations in the region.The main goal of the Roadmap is to create safe and comfortable living conditions for citizens through the effective use of technologies. It is intended to improve the quality of life of city residents and guests, increase the competitiveness of the city, optimize the management of urban resources, reduce the negative impact on the environment, and increase citizen participation in decision-making.For example, a number of important projects were successfully implemented in 2023-2024.

The Semipalatinsk Center for Nuclear Medicine and Oncology announced the release of a new 18F-PSMA-1007 radiopharmaceutical based on the fluorine-18 isotope. This was one of the most important achievements in the field of nuclear medicine, as the drug was produced for the first time in Kazakhstan and will help in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.18F-PSMA-1007 - a radiopharmaceutical that accumulates in prostate tissues after being injected into the patient's body. This allows for high-precision detection of prostate cancer, metastases, or other oncological pathologies. Imaging is performed using PET / CT scanning, which significantly exceeds traditional radiodiagnostic methods in terms of accuracy and informativeness.The entire process, from isotope synthesis to diagnostics, is carried out entirely on the basis of the Center for Nuclear Medicine and Oncology. At the initial stage, the fluorine-18 isotope is produced in a special cyclotron device. Then the isotope is sent to the synthesis laboratory, where chemists create the radiopharmaceutical. After that, the drug undergoes a thorough check in the quality control laboratory. Only then, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the drug is packaged and delivered to the radionuclide diagnostics department.After the drug is administered, the patient waits in a special ward until it accumulates in the body. Then a PET/CT scan is performed, the results of which are analyzed by oncologists. These data not only help to make an accurate diagnosis, but also determine further treatment tactics and monitor its effectiveness.Professor Igor Znamensky noted that the master class includes attention to all stages of working with a radiopharmaceutical.“We will comprehensively consider the process of administering the drug, the correct doses, the time required for accumulation, as well as patient preparation. We pay special attention to the methodology for interpreting the results of a PET/CT study. Because this is a crucial moment in determining the treatment strategy,” said the qualified specialist.18F-PSMA-1007 was the third radiopharmaceutical whose full production cycle has been mastered at the center. This is an important step in the development of nuclear medicine in the country, which will not only expand diagnostic capabilities, but also improve the quality of cancer treatment. The new drug opens up opportunities for more effective treatment of prostate cancer and can become an important tool in the fight against oncology in Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay/press/news/details/933543
