Pipeline Launch in Kazhybek Bek Village Marks Major Step Toward Full Gasification of the RegionThe Almaty region continues its large-scale gasification program. One of the most significant recent milestones was the launch of gas distribution networks in the village of Kazhybek Bek, located in the Zhambyl district. This is more than just an infrastructure project — it’s a real improvement in the quality of life for thousands of residents.Construction of the gas pipeline began in December 2023 and was completed ahead of schedule by the end of 2024, despite the initial timeline of 26 months. The total cost of the project amounted to 4.2 billion tenge.The story of Kazhybek Bek is just one episode in the broader regional gasification initiative. To date, 157 settlements have been connected under the regional scheme, covering 1.2 million people — that’s 77% of the region’s total population.In 2024 alone, 17 villages gained access to gas. By the end of 2025, the gasification level is expected to reach 59.5%, covering 169 settlements. More than 6.7 billion tenge has been allocated for new projects in 2025, with an additional 1.4 billion tenge designated for project and estimate documentation.Work is underway in various districts, including Konaev, Balkhash, Zhambyl, and Ili. Authorities emphasize that the project is being implemented in phases, taking into account actual needs and principles of sustainable development.The full gasification of the region is planned to be completed by 2030. This will not only improve living conditions, but also reduce the environmental burden, create conditions for economic growth, and attract investment to rural areas.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/984349?lang=kk

On the initiative of Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov and with the support of the Kazakhstan Khalkyna public Foundation, modern equipment will be supplied to the city's oncological dispensary — a linear accelerator and a computed tomograph (CT).This decision is aimed at improving the quality of cancer care and expanding access to high-tech treatment for residents of the region.What will it give the patients?The linear accelerator is an advanced equipment used for radiation therapy. It allows you to:precisely target the tumor, minimizing damage to healthy tissues,individually adjust the treatment parameters,reduce side effects and speed up patients' recovery.A modern CT machine will be installed in combination with it, which will make it possible to determine the localization of the tumor process as accurately as possible. This is critically important for building a radiation treatment plan.Why is this important?Currently, the treatment is carried out on outdated devices installed in 1993 and 2006. Their resources are almost exhausted, and the level of accuracy and safety does not meet modern standards.In addition, about 20% of patients from Kostanay region are forced to receive such treatment in republican clinics in Astana or abroad. This creates an additional financial and logistical burden for both patients and their families.Now residents of the region will be able to receive advanced treatment on the spot. This will allow:significantly reduce the waiting list and waiting times for therapy,reduce the cost of moving and living in other regions,ensure timely initiation of radiation therapy.Financing and timingThe cost of the project for the purchase and installation of equipment exceeds 2.5 billion tenge. Financing is provided from the funds of the Kazakhstan Khalqyna Foundation in cooperation with local executive bodies.Work on the installation of equipment and staff training will be carried out in the near future. All procedures are implemented within the framework of the state program for the modernization of the healthcare system.Comment by Akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov:"Oncology is a field where every minute can be crucial. We don't just upgrade equipment — we give people a chance. Together with the Kazakhstan Halkyna Foundation, we are making quality medicine closer and more accessible to the residents of our region."Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/983277?lang=kk
