The Ministry of Health, as one of the ways to solve the shortage of medical personnel, proposes to make a more effective mechanism for distributing graduates of medical schools."Currently, almost a third of medical school graduates do not work by assignment, mostly prefer private medical organizations for employment. In addition, there is no harmonization between personnel training within the framework of the state educational order and personnel training at the expense of local budgets (M&E grants), which affects the effective planning of medical personnel, monitoring of the arrival of specialists to the field is also poorly conducted," First Vice Minister of Health Timur Sultangaziev said in his speech at a field meeting a meeting of the Senate of the Parliament in the Abai region.As effective measures to change the situation, the Ministry of Health proposes to return the personal assignment of young specialists to the level of the authorized body in conditions where it is necessary to establish clear coordination in staffing.The second is to introduce a deferral for working out for certain categories of graduates, to introduce continuing education in residency, for medical workers with at least three years of work experience at the PHC level, to introduce an early (preliminary) distribution procedure.At the same time, it is advisable to create Regional Commissions on the ground to regulate the distribution of personnel and coordinate work on the provision of social support measures.In addition, the agency is initiating a whole package of additional incentive measures to retain staff in the field and increase the prestige of medical practice in rural areas. Among them are the updating of educational programs for interns, the organization of psychological support programs and the introduction of incentive systems for long—term medical workers and other non-financial incentives.These initiatives are aimed at strengthening the health care system and creating conditions to reduce the outflow of medical personnel from rural areas.The TOP 5 most in-demand specialties of the surgical group include anesthesiologists-resuscitators, the need is 306, surgeons – 210, ophthalmologists – 112, otorhinolaryngologists – 83, angiosurgeons – 44. The most in-demand specialists of the maternity service are: obstetricians and gynecologists – 253, neonatologists – 87.There is a high demand for doctors in the large cities of Astana (702 doctors), Almaty (497 doctors), Shymkent (234 doctors). At the level of rural settlements, the greatest demand for medical workers is observed in Akmola (116 doctors), Turkestan (135 doctors), West Kazakhstan Region (89 doctors).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/876050

Kostanay region continues to attract investors due to its significant potential and dynamically developing infrastructure. The recent initiative related to the construction of a plant for the production of high-quality rods and profiles from aluminum alloys under the ALUMCRAFT brand is a striking example of this.Today, on the sidelines of the KAZAKHSTAN ROUND TABLEON GLOBAL INVESTMENTS - 2024, held in Astana, a memorandum was signed between the Akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov and the Chinese partner Yin Xingqian on the creation of a plant with a capacity of 29,000 tons of aluminum rods and profiles per year. The project partner is Conglin Aluminum Technology (Shandong) Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of aluminum products in China. The plant is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of the region's economy due to additional budget revenues and export opportunities.An important factor contributing to the investment attractiveness of the region is the implementation of projects to introduce renewable energy sources and the construction of a gas pipeline from the Aktobe region.These infrastructure projects will ensure reliable energy flows, which, in turn, will create favorable conditions for the development of new industries and attract investment.The Kostanay region is becoming a center of attraction for investors seeking to develop new types of products and introduce advanced technologies. We are confident that this approach will not only strengthen the region's economy, but will also create new opportunities for local residents and businesses.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/876017

A meeting of maslikhat deputies with the leaders of student self-government was held in Astana.

You have probably heard about cases when students of our schools were involved in drug trafficking and received long sentences for it — up to 10 years in prison," he addressed the youth.According to him, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness of the fight against drug trafficking and change prevention methods."We must convey to young people that drug use leads to personal degradation and serious health problems.

At a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin, the Government considered proposals to reform the veterinary system. The approaches presented by the Ministry of Agriculture to the creation of a sustainable and universally developed veterinary system are actually a continuation of the reform initiated in recent years in this area. The approaches are based on two key components — the complete identification of farm animals through the digital systems of EASU and ICI and the constant monitoring of the epizootic situation on the ground. Thanks to the phased measures taken in recent years, certain improvements have been achieved in the field of veterinary medicine — a decrease in such dangerous diseases as brucellosis, anthrax, pasteurellosis by 2.3 times compared to 2022, and by 28.5% from 2023. The welfare status of the World Organization for Animal Health has been restored in five regions of Kazakhstan and restrictions on meat exports to Russia, China, Turkey, and Belarus have been lifted. In the IC of Identification of farm animals (ICS), "VSE" modules have been created (control of movement, slaughter of animals and meat quality to the consumer), the function of controlling the issuance of quotas and export of animals in the "Processing Center" (control of the issuance of individual animal numbers) has been digitized. Next, it is planned to digitize import-export operations with subsequent traceability across the country, as well as organize traceability on the principle of "producer – processing – market – consumer".At the same time, the existing logistical problems, low wages and qualifications of veterinarians, weak Internet coverage of veterinary facilities create serious barriers to building an effective veterinary system in the regions. As noted by Vice Minister of Agriculture Amangali Berdalin, currently 75 veterinary stations (36% of the total) and 1,607 veterinary points (77% of the total) do not have separate buildings. More than 70% of the special equipment on the balance of veterinary stations and points is in poor condition. For example, in the village of Aksu, Almaty region, where anthrax was recently detected, the veterinary center was located in one office of the building of the akimat of the rural district, although it served more than 25.5 thousand heads of animals. "With a large amount of work of a veterinarian, it is a household inspection of farms, inspection of animals, maintenance of a health insurance database, provision of public services, veterinary preventive and diagnostic studies and others, the salary of a veterinarian with higher education is 175 thousand tenge. Due to the lack of funds in the regions, veterinarians do not have the opportunity to improve their skills, which inevitably leads to errors in diagnosis, epizootic analysis and forecasting of the epidemic situation in the region," the Vice Minister noted. Timely diagnosis and high—quality laboratory tests are the second component of the epizootic well-being of the country. Currently, there are 167 veterinary laboratories and 21 sample collection points in the country. Almost half of them require repairs, and 167 pieces of laboratory equipment are needed. All this is necessary to increase the level of ensuring the biological and food safety of the country. In addition, in the Mangystau and East Kazakhstan regions, due to the growth of road freight and through seaports, increased control over food and biological safety at the border, design and estimate documentation for the construction and repair of veterinary laboratories is being developed. In order to strengthen veterinary control in the field, it is proposed, in addition to the existing veterinary departments in regions and cities of republican significance, to cascade the veterinary network until the creation of appropriate departments in district centers and cities of regional significance. This will strengthen control over the activities of veterinary and sanitary facilities in villages and villages (animal burial grounds, slaughterhouses, veterinary stations, etc.).

The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan explains the changes in the law on public procurement in Karaganda. At the meeting, representatives of the business community of the Karaganda region, employees of government agencies, budget organizations, SMEs and representatives of the regional NCE "Atameken" learned about the support of domestic producers by optimizing procurement procedures.The law will enter into force on January 1, 2025, so it is already important to know the changes in order to prepare for them, said Kazakh Finance Minister Madi Takiev and Akim of Karaganda region Ermaganbet Bulekpayev."In general, the law is aimed at optimizing the procedures of the procurement process, improving the quality of purchased goods, works and services, strengthening the responsibility of participants in public procurement and developing competition. For example, the first block of the law's novelties is aimed at simplifying and reducing procurement procedures. So, in order to carry out purchases promptly, provide greater powers to customers, as well as avoid delaying procurement procedures, complaints will now be considered directly by the procurement organizer himself. The appeal of the procurement results will be carried out through the web portal and only for purchases, where the winner is determined by the competition commission," said Madi Takiev, Minister of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Information about the supplier will be generated through the extensive use of data from information systems of government agencies.Another block of short stories is aimed at developing competition. Thus, a single procurement platform based on a single public procurement operator, JSC Center for Electronic Finance, has been introduced by law, which provides a single access point to electronic public procurement and procurement services for quasi–public sector entities. In addition, the tender period has been reduced from 2 months to 10 working days. The procedure for appealing the results of public procurement has also been revised and simplified. "As part of the execution of the instruction of the Head of State on the demonopolization of the construction market, as part of the implementation of the new Law, measures for the demonopolization of economic spheres have been reflected. In particular, when calculating conditional discounts, the application of price criteria in the form of a territorial feature (increased from 1% to 2%) and negative values (increased from 0.1% to 0.2%) continued. These measures will make it possible to evenly and fairly distribute the volume of public procurement and eliminate the monopoly position of individual companies," said Vice Minister of Finance Dauren Kenbeil.In addition, in order to support domestic producers, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan has approved a separate list of goods, works and services that will be purchased exclusively from small and medium-sized businesses.The new law on public procurement will improve the quality of purchased goods, works, services, strengthen the responsibility of potential suppliers and provide support to domestic producers.

На 36-ом пленарном заседании Совета иностранных инвесторов под председательством Главы государства заместитель Премьер-Министра – министр национальной экономики Нурлан Байбазаров рассказал о принимаемых мерах по улучшению инвестиционного климата.В мероприятии, посвящённом Новому инвестиционному циклу Казахстана, приняли участие транснациональные компании, руководители государственных органов и представители международных организаций.По словам Нурлана Байбазарова, на фоне замедления инвестиционной активности в мире в связи с усилением санкционного противостояния, нарушением логистической системы, высокой инфляции, Казахстан занял лидирующую позицию по привлечению прямых иностранных инвестиций среди постсоветских стран, в том числе Центральной Азии и стран, не имеющих выхода к морю.«На сегодня перед Правительством Казахстана стоит задача по удвоению размера экономики и основным фактором ее реализации является привлечение инвестиций», - сказал вице-премьер.Для достижения данной цели актуализирована Концепция инвестиционной политики до 2029 года, в рамках которой внедряется новый подход по привлечению инвестиций, сфокусированный на конкретных потребностях отраслей экономики.«В частности, будут формироваться «заказы» на инвестиции исходя из потребностей местного бизнеса и квазигосударственных компаний в тех или иных производствах. Полученные данные будут отражены в Инвестиционных региональных программах и использованы загранучреждениями для таргетирования конкретных иностранных инвесторов», - добавил Нурлан Байбазаров.Также одним из факторов экономической активности станет дальнейшее обеспечение инфраструктурой новых высокопроизводительных инвестпроектов.В текущем году принят Национальный инфраструктурный план до 2029 года. Будет реализовано 204 проекта на сумму порядка $86 млрд. План предусматривает 4 направления – это энергетическая, транспортная, цифровая инфраструктура, а также инфраструктура водоснабжения и водоотведения.Вместе с тем, продолжатся структурные преобразования по либерализации экономики. Государство продолжит работу по уменьшению участия государства в конкурентных отраслях.«Новый Налоговый кодекс будет способствовать активизации инвестиционного цикла, устанавливая эффективные налоговые преференции и создавая комфортные и стабильные условия как для иностранных, так и для казахстанских инвесторов», - заключил вице-премьер.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/875986
