The head of the region, Serik Shapkenov, at a press conference held at the site of the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, noted that a number of incentive measures are being implemented to attract qualified specialists to the region. 140 doctors have been employed by paying a one-time allowance to state medical institutions in the region.

– This year, the amount of the one-time allowance paid to young specialists who came from other regions and have just completed their studies has been doubled. Doctors who agreed to work in villages were paid 10 million tenge, 8.5 million tenge in regional centers, and 5 million tenge in the city. As part of the unique housing program for medical workers, 42 doctors received housing. This program provides for the provision of a loan for up to 25 years without a down payment at a reduced rate of 5%. Additionally, 105 office apartments were purchased. The work aimed at improving the health of the population and increasing the availability of medical services will continue," S. Shapkenov noted.
