The Ministry of Emergency Situations continues to work on the introduction of digital and innovative technologies to increase efficiency in the emergency prevention and response system. An important step in this direction was the introduction of a modernized situation room for the operational headquarters of the Command Center, which became a key element for coordinating all actions to prevent and eliminate emergencies. Digital services with tools for forecasting, modeling and analyzing possible man-made and natural disasters, as well as assessing their consequences, are concentrated here. The basis of the digital services of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is the GIS Emergency Geographic Information System, which includes subsystems for monitoring and forecasting various emergencies, such as fires, technological accidents, meteorological disasters and oil spills. The system also uses digital safety data sheets of regions and interactive maps displaying an atlas of natural and man-made emergencies on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including historical data. An important component of the system is the monitoring of the mudflow situation. For this purpose, during the mudflow period, PTZ cameras are used on the Turgen Lakes and the Talgar River dam, as well as an automated monitoring system for moraine lakes using sensors and automated UAVs. In the field of fire safety, video surveillance systems have been introduced, such as Sergek cameras, as well as cameras for detecting fires in forestry. At the moment, the GLPR systems "Ertis Ormany", "Burabai", "Semey Ormany", RGPP "Medeo" and other facilities throughout the country are connected. To respond to earthquakes, access to the GeoRAPTOR system is configured, which uses physical sensors in Almaty and surrounding areas to monitor seismic activity. To promptly alert the population, the Ministry of Emergency Situations is actively developing a domestic hardware and software package that will allow you to control siren-speech installations throughout the country. Work is underway to create a mobile application that will allow you to determine the user's location, provide instructions on how to act in emergency situations, as well as provide feedback for people with disabilities. An important step in modernization is the construction of a unified radio network for operational interaction of the Ministry of Emergency Situations with other government agencies such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, NG, KUIS, as well as with forestry and Qarmet organizations. In addition, as part of digitalization, work continues on the digitization of safety data sheets. The subsystem "Digital Safety Data Sheet" has already been presented, as well as an "Interactive map", which will greatly facilitate the work of territorial divisions on updating data and their use in daily activities. Currently, more than 20 thousand personal files of EMERCOM employees have been digitized, which is the basis for further automation of personnel work. The information system also provides automated reporting, which helps to improve the efficiency of work with personnel, reduce bureaucracy and reduce the burden on the personnel service. The Ministry of Emergency Situations continues to work on the integration of digital technologies, which will significantly increase the efficiency, effectiveness and accuracy of emergency actions, as well as improve the interaction of all involved structures and bodies.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/emer/press/news/details/903154

More than 700 medical organizations in the republic participate in the pilot project on the electronic issuance of medicines through the "Social Wallet", patients received drugs based on 1,387,756 prescriptions using a QR code.The use of the "Social Wallet" creates conditions for accessibility and full transparency in the provision of medicines to citizens, excluding illegal trafficking, falsification and other violations.People receiving medications as part of outpatient drug provision, including people with chronic diseases, now do not need to spend time making appointments with a doctor to obtain a paper prescription, a nurse can independently issue the prescribed medicine without queues.For the elderly or other persons who cannot use the services of the state service "Social Wallet", when visiting the clinic, it is enough to be identified using Face-ID and webcams, after which the prescribed medicines will also be given to the patient.By the end of the year, this project will be scaled up throughout the republic, covering 1.7 million people receiving drugs as part of free outpatient drug provision.How to do it?The patient logs into the Social Wallet mobile application, where he sees all his prescriptions (active and inactive), comes to the pharmacy and presents the QR code of the prescription. The medical staff in the information system uses a barcode scanner to scan QR codes and issue medicines. At the same time, you do not need to store paper recipes, QR is always at hand.Advantages of electronic drug dispensing The full history of receiving medicines is stored the ability to evaluate the quality of service provision leaving comments with the option to attach a photo/video automatic formation of an electronic appeal to an authorized state body with a very low assessment from the patientSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/901820

Doctors of the Research Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases of the Ministry of Health have applied a unique technique in the treatment of a complex case.As a result of a complex operation, a 64-year-old patient was given the opportunity to live a new, healthy life. Progressive heart failure (atrial fibrillation of only 27%) and severe damage to the main vessel of the heart - the trunk of the left coronary artery required serious intervention.The doctors used a unique technique. Instead of a standard operation, she underwent treatment using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, an external auxiliary circulatory device (ECMO), which was first used in the clinic.Initially, a cannula was inserted into the femoral artery and vein to begin the procedure of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. From that moment on, the device took over the pumping of blood and gas exchange in the lungs. The patient's blood entered the oxygenator, was saturated with oxygen and returned back to the body. All this time, the process of vital support of the body was controlled by anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists.At the next stage, interventional cardiologists installed a stent in the trunk of the left coronary artery and its branches, which allowed it to maintain its walls and restore blood flow to the heart.Immediately after the end of the operation, the patient was disconnected from ECMO and artificial lung ventilation on the operating table. Now she is on the way to a full recovery and is looking forward to meeting her loved ones.During the operation, the patient's life was supported by a large professional team consisting of the following: head of the X-ray unit Alexey Kolesnikov, interventional cardiologists Almat Kalzhanov and Arystan Kuzhukeev, head of the anesthesiological service Mikhail Vorontsov, head of the intensive care unit Daniyar Kanapyanov and anesthesiologist-resuscitator Artem Nikitenko.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/901900
