It is important to strengthen explanatory work among employers and citizens so that they understand the benefits of health insurance and the need for regular contributions,” the director of the Fund’s branch said in his report.In addition, a set of measures was proposed to inform citizens about the rules for participating in the compulsory health insurance system, their rights and opportunities, as well as the consequences of not having health insurance. A set of measures was also proposed to involve the population in the compulsory health insurance system, including: organizing public reception rooms to conduct explanatory work for the population, target groups - mothers with many children, service professionals, individual entrepreneurs and self-employed citizens.“It is necessary to identify the main reasons why part of the population is excluded from the compulsory health insurance system. This will help to develop effective solutions to raise citizens’ awareness and improve the quality of medical services. It is important not only to identify problem areas, but also to propose specific steps to eliminate them. Based on the information received, targeted measures will be developed and large-scale explanatory work will be carried out among various groups of the population,” said Erik Meirkhanov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/929286

AMANZHOLOV UNIVERSITY SCIENTISTS DEVELOP INNOVATIVE WATER FILTERSThe head of state has repeatedly noted the need to modernize the wastewater treatment infrastructure and solve the problem of water pollution. Scientists from the S. Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University have developed innovative domestic water filters for domestic and industrial purposes.Recently, the S. Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University purchased L-BW 380 equipment for the production of water purification filters worth 125,000,000 tenge. The new equipment will allow the production of high-quality housings for filters.According to scientists, it is planned to launch the product on the market within a year. During this time, a group of scientists will need to receive technical training and prepare a workplace for the production of filters.The project “Production of composite filter materials for the purification of water bodies” is aimed at solving one of the most pressing problems in the world - the low quality of drinking water. Scientists at the East Kazakhstan University will launch the production of filtering composite sorbents modified with graphite oxide based on biopolymers, ceramic and carbon materials. They will also assemble them in the form of cartridges and manufacture their housings at the university.In the near future, water purified from heavy metals, microorganisms and organic compounds will be available to Kazakhstanis. The first domestic filter is cheaper than Russian analogues. And a household filter will last 4-5 months.- About 70% of surface water bodies in the country are polluted. This situation is especially aggravated by industrial enterprises in the East Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions. About 20% of wastewater from industrial sources is discharged directly into water bodies without treatment. I believe that this problem can be solved with the help of the advanced treatment devices we have proposed, - said the project leader, senior researcher at the university, Tlek Kuanyshbekov.The S. Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University is making a significant contribution to the protection of water resources. Two years ago, the educational program "Hydroecology, Management and Transboundary Water Security" was introduced. Its main goal is to train specialists who can use geoinformation methods in monitoring hydro resources and manage water resources in accordance with environmental norms and standards of rational use. Thus, the EKU is training a reserve of hydrologists, hydrochemists, mudflow specialists, glaciologists, and GIS specialists in nature management.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sci/press/news/details/929253
