Kostanay region has consistently implemented a state policy for the development and modernization of the healthcare system, aimed at improving the availability and quality of medical care for the population.

Over the past two years, 26 primary health care facilities have been built in rural areas of the region - outpatient clinics, midwifery and medical centers. The new facilities are equipped with modern medical equipment, including ultrasound machines, laboratory complexes, rehabilitation and physiotherapy equipment, which was previously unavailable at the village level.

Special attention is paid to strengthening the material and technical base of the industry. This year, 9.8 billion tenge has been allocated for these purposes, which is three times the amount of financing in 2022 (3.3 billion tenge).

Currently, there are 4 angiographs, 11 computed tomographs, and 2 magnetic resonance imaging machines in the medical organizations of the region.

Additionally, CT and MRI machines, two angiographs, and a linear accelerator for the cancer hospital were purchased. For the first time, a linear accelerator was installed in the region, which allowed patients to receive radiation therapy in the region without having to travel to other regions.

In 2026, it is planned to purchase two MRI and two angiographs for Arkalyk and Zhitikarinsky regional hospitals. The introduction of high-tech equipment will significantly improve the provision of emergency and planned surgical care, including for diseases of the circulatory system, neurosurgical and traumatological pathologies. Modern CT and MRI scans help to increase the level of early diagnosis of diseases.

In addition, at the beginning of this month, 50 new specialized vehicles were transferred to the ambulance service of the region. Modern vehicles are equipped with the necessary medical equipment, which makes it possible to effectively provide assistance at the scene of a call, reduces the load on a worn-out fleet and minimizes the risks of delays in the arrival of teams.
