The Akim of Kostanay Region, Kumar Aksakalov, congratulated healthcare workers on their professional holiday. The head of state noted: "Healthcare is one of the key initiatives in the renewal of our country."

This year, 133.2 billion tenge has been allocated to healthcare in the region, a 1.6-fold increase compared to 2022.

Currently, 438 medical organizations operate in the region. They employ more than 13,000 specialists, including approximately 1,800 doctors. Over the past three years, 34 medical facilities have been built: two clinics, five outpatient clinics, 23 first-aid stations (FAPs), and four first-aid stations. They are equipped with ultrasound machines, laboratories, rehabilitation equipment, and physiotherapy devices, which were previously unavailable at the village level.

Private investment has enabled the opening of the LifeClinic medical center and outpatient clinics in the Yubileiny microdistrict of Kostanay and in the town of Tobyl in the Kostanay district. A district outpatient clinic in the Zarechny residential complex of the Kostanay district will soon open its doors.

Reconstruction of the outpatient clinic in the Zhitikara district has been completed. Following the renovation of the district hospitals in Arkalyk and Zhitikara, the renovation of the Arkalyk Medical College and the construction of feldsher-midwife stations in the Amangeldy and Dzhangeldy districts will begin this year.

Two children's centers have opened in the region. One of them is the largest center for children with autism in the republic, as well as a rehabilitation center for children with disabilities.

Renovations are underway at 34 healthcare facilities. 13.4 billion tenge has been allocated to strengthen the material and technical infrastructure of the region's medical institutions, a fourfold increase over the 2022 budget.

A linear accelerator was installed for the first time at the oncology hospital. Fifty new ambulances were added to the Ambulance Service fleet. The level of medical equipment availability reached 90%.

In 2025 alone, more than 300 doctors arrived in the region. The number of graduates from medical colleges in the region increased from 376 to 620. Over the past three years, the physician shortage has been reduced by 67% – from 312 to 101 specialists.

Thanks to the work of these people in white coats, mortality rates have decreased over the past three years. Life expectancy has increased from 72.67 to 74.94 years.
