Then the Minister visited the city Clinical Hospital No. 7, which is the largest multidisciplinary clinic in Almaty. More than 11,000 operations are performed here every year, and patients are cared for in 27 clinical departments, including centers for neurosurgery, cardiology, nephrology, and endocrinology. Hospital Director Manas Ramazanov spoke about the achievements of the institution, such as the introduction of innovative treatment methods, improving the quality of medical care, and increasing the availability of services. The hospital has departments unique to the city: an endocrinology center for the treatment of patients with endocrine organ pathologies and a citywide nephrology department specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with kidney diseases. After visiting medical institutions, Akmaral Alnazarova held a meeting with the medical community of Almaty. In his opening remarks, he noted the high level of qualification of Almaty doctors and the introduction of advanced technologies into the city's healthcare system. During the meeting, problematic issues in the field of maternal and child health protection were discussed, which require prenatal training and modern contraceptives for pregnant and fertile women, monitoring of serious conditions and measures to ensure their necessary care. Summing up the work of the healthcare system in 2024, he personally focused on the reform of the compulsory health insurance system, the revision of the regulatory framework and the development of more than 240 amendments to the Code "On Public Health and the Healthcare System." . These measures are aimed at improving the medical care system, forming a single package of state medical care and increasing its transparency. "In September of this year, in his address to the people of Kazakhstan, the Head of State instructed to create a single package of medical care balanced with the budget. Everything that goes beyond this package must be covered by your health insurance system. In order to switch to single-package financing, we have carried out a lot of analytical work and made calculations," the minister said. The Ministry of Health has developed a mechanism for a phased transition to a Single package, which provides for the inclusion of first aid (PHC) services in the NSR package by 2027. > At the same time, free state guarantees for all citizens, regardless of their insurance status in the National Health Insurance System (NHRS), are reserved for the following types of medical care:: - Emergency care - Diagnosis and treatment of all infectious diseases; cirrhosis of the liver, orphan diseases, acute myocardial infarction, stroke). inpatient care;- Palliative care;- Provision of blood products. The Minister noted that the introduction of a single package of medical care will lead to a number of positive changes. These are the clarity of the boundaries of the National Medical Center and the National Medical Center, without duplication of services, the availability of examinations in case of suspected diseases of social importance and cancer screening, regardless of the status of the National Medical Center, and an increase in tariffs in accordance with actual costs. In 2027, it is planned to complete the transition to the primary insurance financing model, where the cost ratio will be 30% (1.2 trillion tenge) for the National Insurance Fund and 70% (2.85 trillion tenge) for the National Insurance Fund.It is important to note that today the state introduces insurance premiums for 15 categories of the population, including children, pregnant women, pensioners, students, the disabled, the unemployed and other categories of the population, which make up more than 11.9 million Kazakhstanis. They provided access to medical care regardless of insurance. As a result of the inclusion of all categories of citizens in the health insurance system, including 1.1 million residents with a crisis level of well-being, the insurance level for the group of people with socially significant diseases will increase to 93%. The measures taken to increase the coverage of the population with health insurance and the state's obligations to insure privileged categories of the population minimize the risks of unavailability of medical care, including primary care. The head of the department also spoke in detail about the modernization of primary care, positive changes in the availability and quality of medical care for patients. After the working council, the Minister of Health held a meeting with residents of Almaty and received citizens on their personal issues.

The mineral fertilizers industry in Kazakhstan plays a key role in the development of agriculture and industry in the country. Kazakhstan's rich natural resources offer great opportunities for the growth of the chemical industry, including the production of mineral fertilizers. KazAzot JSC is one of the important enterprises in this industry. It is the country's only producer of liquid ammonia and ammonium nitrate, which are necessary for growing grain crops, vegetables and fruits. Mineral fertilizers provide plants with vital nutrients and play a crucial role in ensuring the country's food security.KazAzot LLP was founded in 2005 on the basis of the Nitrogen-tuk Plant complex. And in 2010, the second stage of the revival began under the new leadership. Major repairs were carried out, outdated equipment was replaced and modern technologies were introduced. Since 2011, the company has been participating in the state program of industrial and innovative development, and in 2013, the modernization of ammonia, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate production facilities was successfully completed, which significantly increased its capacity.One of the key factors in ammonia production is the use of natural gas. In 2015, the KazAzot branch received the right to use the Shagyrly-Shomyshty field, which allowed to reduce production costs and increase competitiveness. In 2016, the company was reorganized into a joint-stock company, and in 2017 its own gas-piston power plant was put into operation, which ensured energy independence and stable operation of the plant.The company's products are actively used in the agro-industrial complex and the mining industry, where they are subsidized by the state to support agriculture.In 2022, a new nitric acid neutralization and evaporation unit was introduced, which increased production to 380 thousand tons per year. This project was an important step in the modernization of the plant and expansion of production facilities.In the second half of this year, KazAzot JSC launched a new line for the production of granular ammonium sulfate with a design capacity of 40,000 tons per year, which provided 20 new jobs. This step is part of the strategic plan to expand the product range and modernize the plant. The production of ammonium sulfate, based on the technology of neutralizing sulfuric acid with ammonia vapor followed by drying and granulation, meets international standards. This fertilizer, containing nitrogen and sulfur, plays an important role in improving yields and soil quality, which is especially important for the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan.The launch of a new production facility helps support global efforts to improve food security. Fertilizers with added sulfur, such as ammonium sulfate, are in demand all over the world, as they contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture and help to use resources efficiently in the face of climate change and the growing need for food.The company is actively implementing alternative energy sources and using closed-loop systems, which helps to reduce its carbon footprint and minimize its environmental impact. These measures allow the company to meet global trends in sustainable development and gain strong positions in both domestic and international markets.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/907814
