Akim of the region Askhat Shakharov, as part of a trip to the Martuk district, got acquainted with the work of a new medical center opened in the village of Baytorysai.
The building for the medical facility was built this year. Stroykom LLP+Service" commissioned the facility in October.
Nurseyit Kishkentayev, the chief physician of the Martuk district hospital, said that a paramedic and a nurse are working in the new medical facility. There is an admission department, a treatment room, a filter and a physiotherapy room. The medical center is designed for 20 visits per day.
This year, a new medical center was also opened in the village of Akkayin, and in the future, the same medical facility is planned to open in Saryzhar.
"The opening of a new medical center in Baytorysai, where 413 people live, was an important event for residents, as the previously existing medical facility did not meet modern standards. Now, villagers, including schoolchildren, pensioners, pregnant women and young children, will be able to receive high-quality medical care near their homes. 7-8 children are born in the village every year, and the new medical center will provide timely medical support to each family," said Nurseyit Kishkentayev.
Dastan Alzhan works as a paramedic at the medical center. After graduating from medical college in 2005, the young specialist came to the Martuk district. For about ten years he worked in the Martuk regional hospital, then in other villages. 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. Over the next three years, we plan to build 21 more medical centers in the villages. Today, medical institutions in the district are equipped with modern equipment: incubators for newborns, cardiotocographs, laparoscopic devices, colposcopes and much more have been purchased for them. This year, two medical vehicles were purchased to provide on-site services. The development of healthcare goes hand in hand with the improvement of rural infrastructure: issues with roads and gas supply are being resolved, conditions are being created that make life in rural areas comfortable," the head of the region emphasized.
The mayor also noted that the issue of shortage of medical personnel in rural areas is being resolved. Grant programs for training and professional development are provided to support young professionals.
