In order to ensure the rights of persons with disabilities and create an accessible environment for them, 1248 social infrastructure facilities have been fully adapted in the Kyzylorda region.
Currently, the National Plan to Ensure the Rights and Improve the Quality of Life of Persons with Disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025, the Roadmap of the Amanat Party for 2023-2027, as well as the Halykpen Birge project initiated on behalf of the Head of State are being implemented.
According to the Roadmap of the Amanat party, it is planned to adapt more than 35 thousand objects included in the Interactive Accessibility Map (hereinafter referred to as the Map). 20% of the facilities are adapted annually:
- in 2023 – 20%;
- in 2024-40%;
- in 2025 – 60%;
- in 2026 – 80%;
- in 2027 – 100%.
To date, 20,849 facilities have been adapted across the country. It was planned to adapt 948 facilities in the Kyzylorda region in 2024, but the region exceeded the plan: accessibility was provided for 1248 facilities. Of these, all categories of persons with disabilities are accessible:
- healthcare facilities – 128;
- educational facilities – 586;
- cultural objects – 117;
- state and quasi–state organizations - 250;
- objects of trade and services – 31;
- sports facilities – 19;
- transport infrastructure facilities – 11;
- catering, trade, and services organizations – 92;
- social protection facilities – 8;
- other – 6.
"I visit various socially significant institutions in Kyzylorda every day: shops, pharmacies, hospitals and others. It is important for me that they are available. Now many facilities are equipped with lifts for people in wheelchairs, special service areas. New buildings are being built taking into account the needs of low-mobility groups of the population, equipped with ramps, handrails, elevators and tactile markings. Separately, I would like to note that the owners of existing facilities are also making changes to make them accessible. We also make suggestions to entrepreneurs. For example, a lifting device has been installed in the branch of Otbasy Bank JSC, which allows me to move around without assistance. The community service centers that I frequent have guide strips, signs, and staff to help. This makes the visit as comfortable as possible," said Sagatbek Siyuov, a disabled person of the first group.
In addition, this year, within the framework of state control, the Department of the Committee for Regulation and Control in the Field of Social Protection of the Population of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan conducted 104 inspections of social infrastructure facilities in the Kyzylorda region. Of these: 39 – as part of preventive control, 6 – unscheduled inspections and 59 – at the request of the prosecutor's office.
According to the results of the inspections, 31 orders were issued to eliminate violations and 53 administrative fines were imposed in the amount of over 6.4 million tenge.
It is important to note that during preventive control, the owners of facilities are given only instructions on their elimination without bringing to administrative responsibility upon initial detection of violations. In case of failure to comply with the order within the prescribed time, a fine is imposed.
