Editorial staff of the PrimeMinister website.kz continues its series of publications on the results of Kazakhstan's development in 2024. On the initiative of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the republican environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan" has been launched since April of this year. The event is aimed at improving the environmental situation in the country, increasing the level of ecological culture of the population and attracting citizens to environmental protection issues. The campaign covered all regions of the country, laying the foundation for a sustainable ecological future.From March to November of this year, the campaign brought together more than 5.83 million people, which is a significant part of the country's population. As part of the events, mass clean-up days were held, during which over 1,159 thousand tons of garbage were collected and more than 1,609 thousand trees were planted. Active work was carried out both at the level of government agencies and among the public, including volunteers and private organizations.Combating unauthorized landfills and air pollutionAs part of the "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign, raids were carried out to identify unauthorized landfills. Together with the territorial departments of ecology and local authorities, numerous landfills were eliminated.During the Clean Air raids, 482 vehicles were checked and 105 violations of environmental standards were detected. Administrative measures in the form of fines and warnings were applied to 96 drivers. These measures emphasized the importance of compliance with environmental regulations and increased the responsibility of road users.Digital environmental supportA special achievement of the project was the creation of the @TazaQazBot digital platform, which provides citizens with the opportunity to report on environmental issues and participate in their solution. Thus, 7,929 applications were submitted via the chatbot during the year. Of these, 7,061 applications were completed, 168 applications were executed, 23 applications were processed, and 674 applications were canceled.Among them, the most frequent requests are: cleaning of territories – 2,142 applications, household garbage removal – 668 applications, street improvement – 648 applications, road repair – 595 applications. Almaty is the leader among the regions with 2,014 applications. This is followed by Astana with 1,587 applications. The Karaganda region is in third place with 757 applications. The chatbot has become an effective tool for dialogue between citizens and the state, contributing to the prompt resolution of environmental problems.The concept of development of ecological culture of the populationIn order to consolidate the achieved results and form an ecological consciousness for the long term, the "Concept for the development of the ecological culture of the population for 2024-2029" was approved. This document defines the key directions of environmental policy.One of the priorities of the Concept was the involvement of young people in environmental projects. Lectures, eco-hours and excursions to environmental laboratories were held throughout the year. Thus, this year more than 90,000 volunteers took part in landscaping and landscaping campaigns.To raise environmental awareness of the population, work is underway to highlight waste recycling, pollution monitoring, and contests for landscaping and the development of eco-volunteerism.A key focus of the Concept is also the creation of conditions for active citizen participation. Special attention is paid to the development of digital platforms such as @TazaQazBot, which have already proven their effectiveness. Monitoring of compliance with environmental regulations and the implementation of environmental standards is also being strengthened.In addition, it is planned to strengthen the work of stabilization funds next year to create a sustainable environmental management system. It is planned to hold large-scale republican actions on landscaping and landscaping. Interagency cooperation will also be strengthened to reduce emissions and monitor environmental standards. It provides for the development of environmental education programs for the population, including digital technologies and media resources.The initiative of Taza Kazakhstan goes beyond the scope of clean-up activities. It is a movement for an environmentally conscious lifestyle that unites the efforts of citizens, businesses, government agencies and public organizations.Thanks to comprehensive measures and the introduction of innovative technologies, Kazakhstan is taking important steps towards environmental well-being, sustainable development and creating a comfortable environment for future generations.#Civil society #Ecology Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/907202

Now he is the head of the medical center in Baytorysai."Today, fluorography and various types of screening are carried out in villages. The range of medical examination of the population has been expanded. All necessary assistance is provided on site to pregnant women and small children. Modern equipment is being purchased for medical institutions. All this significantly facilitates the access of villagers to medical care and strengthens the health of the population," says Dastan Alzhan.Akim of the region appreciated the quality of the constructed facility, noting that the opening of such medical centers plays an important role in improving the medical infrastructure in rural areas."The construction of a medical center in Baytorysai was carried out within the framework of the national project "Modernization of rural healthcare" initiated by the President of Kazakhstan. This program is aimed at improving the quality of life of rural residents. Within its framework, 11 medical centers were opened in the region.
