- There is a shortage of doctors in the region. We lack experienced, qualified doctors. To solve this problem, we need to increase and encourage the salaries of specialists coming to our region.
We also plan to modernize livestock villages in the region. We need to allocate funds through the "Caspian" social entrepreneurship corporation, dig wells for farmers who want to raise livestock, provide them with the necessary land for growing livestock, and create opportunities. If we support the opening of small workshops for processing fur and skins of foxes, these projects will be of great benefit to improving the livelihoods of the rural population. "In general, we have directed this year's budget to improving the social sphere and rural life, as well as improving the municipal sector," said Nurdaulet Kilybay.
