On January 30, the eighteenth extraordinary session of the regional maslikhat was held with the participation of the akim of Mangystau region Nurdaulet Kilybay. At the meeting, the head of the region raised a number of important issues, including proposals to conduct free internships for 100 students in Turkey, send medical workers to advanced training courses abroad, and remove public utilities from the competitive environment and transfer them to the balance of local akimats.
During the session, the head of the health department Bekbolat Izbasarov provided information on social support measures aimed at improving the quality of medical services in the region. According to him, the region currently lacks 280 doctors. The main reasons for the shortage of personnel are the insufficient social support provided to invited specialists and the shortage of qualified doctors.
- Currently, specialists are provided with a lump sum allowance of 100 MCI and a budget loan within the framework of the “Diploma to the village” program. In 2024, 198 places were allocated under the regional grant. In addition, 24 qualified doctors have been invited to the region, and apartments or dormitories are being rented for 33 specialists in the region. 3 million tenge is being provided as support to doctors arriving in Aktau, 5 million tenge to doctors arriving in Zhanaozen, and 8.5 million tenge to doctors arriving in the districts, - said Bekbolat Izbasarov.
Summing up the session, the regional governor Nurdaulet Kilybay noted a number of initiatives aimed at the development of the region.
- This week, an expanded meeting of the Government was held under the chairmanship of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Kemelovich Tokayev. The President emphasized the importance of developing infrastructure and promoting tourism in the Mangistau region. In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, we will work in this direction.
In addition, we plan to conduct free internships in Turkey for 100 students in the field of tourism and improve the qualifications of doctors. It is being considered to take municipal services in the city, in particular street cleaning and landscaping, out of the competitive environment and transfer them to the balance of the Aktau city akimat.
Perhaps we should increase the funding you have proposed to attract qualified medical specialists to the region, and we should also consider the issue of housing construction.
There is a lot of work to be done, and major projects are ahead. I think we will work together with you in this responsible matter, - said Nurdaulet Kilybay.
