Every year, on the third Sunday of June, Kazakhstan celebrates Medical Workers’ Day. In 2025, this professional holiday falls on June 15. It honors doctors, nurses, paramedics, orderlies, and all those who stand guard over the health and lives of citizens.This day holds particular significance for those who provide medical aid under high-risk conditions — during combat, emergencies, and counter-terrorism operations. That is why one of the key initiatives of 2025 was the establishment of a Tactical Medicine Service within the structure of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Tactical medicine is a system of emergency care designed for situations where every second counts and where traditional civilian medical approaches are ineffective. As is well known, service members of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan are involved in ensuring public safety, conducting special and counter-terrorism operations, and responding to natural disasters and emergencies. In such environments, the ability to quickly and correctly assist the injured — even before medical teams arrive — is critical.Tactical medical training in the National Guard is based on the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) protocol — an international standard for providing care to the wounded in combat. This protocol has been adapted for law enforcement forces and consists of three main stages:Care Under Fire — providing aid while under fire (applying tourniquets, ensuring safety);Tactical Field Care — field care (controlling bleeding, ensuring airway and breathing, stabilizing the condition);Tactical Evacuation Care — evacuation care (providing medical support during transport to a treatment facility).Training is conducted in specialized centers and includes both theoretical lessons and hands-on practice using modern simulators that replicate battlefield injuries and real-life scenarios.Tactical medical training is not a one-off initiative, but part of a long-term strategy to modernize Kazakhstan’s law enforcement forces. This strategy aims to improve combat readiness, reduce personnel losses, and foster a culture of medical competence within the military environment.In addition, every service member of the patrol units in the National Guard receives basic first aid training. This is essential to ensure that soldiers can respond effectively to injuries sustained by fellow troops or civilians during emergencies — even before professional medical teams arrive.Tactical medical instructors regularly conduct drills and field exercises under conditions that closely resemble real-life operations. This training helps build psychological resilience and enables military personnel to react quickly and effectively to life-threatening situations — whether involving their own safety or that of others.On Medical Workers’ Day, it is important to remember: saving lives is not only the duty of doctors in hospitals. It is also the daily mission of military medics, instructors, and field paramedics who work under dangerous conditions.It must be said that the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is taking a significant step forward by implementing modern tactical medicine standards focused on preserving life — both on peaceful city streets and in high-risk operational zones. Press Service of the National Guard Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1017588?lang=kk

Paris, 13 June 2025 — The UNESCO Headquarters in Paris hosted the official opening of the exhibition “Roots of Inspiration: Legacy of Nurgisa Tlendiev”, dedicated to the centennial of the outstanding Kazakh composer, conductor, and master of traditional dombra kuy music.The reputable intergovernmental organization’s 42nd General Conference previously included this jubilee in the list of anniversaries with which UNESCO is associated in 2024–2025 in recognition of Tlendiev’s remarkable contribution to the cultural heritage not only of his nation but of all humanity.The exhibition was jointly organized by the Akimat (City Administration) of Almaty, the Permanent Delegation of Kazakhstan to UNESCO, and the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation.The exhibition was curated by the Almaty Museum Association as it features nearly 70 valuable exhibits from the collections of the Ykhlas Museum of Folk Musical Instruments and the Nurgisa Tlendiev Memorial Museum. Among them are traditional instruments whose ancient sounds served as a vital source of creative inspiration for Tlendiev — the founder of the legendary folkloric-ethnographic ensemble Otyrar Sazy.Divided into five thematic sections, the exhibition traces the composer’s life journey, reflecting both his artistic development and the evolution of Kazakh music within folkloric and academic traditions.A special section of the exhibition showcases musical instruments of Turkic peoples, emphasizing the shared roots and the cultural diversity of the Turkic world.Speaking at the opening ceremony, Permanent Delegate of Kazakhstan to UNESCO, Ambassador Askar Abdrakhmanov, said: “Nurgisa Tlendiev was more than a musician – he was a true chronicler of the Kazakh music soul. Today’s exhibition is not only tribute to Maestro but also a celebration of the living tradition of Kazakh and Turkic music – a tradition that continues to endure also thanks to his legacy.”In his turn, UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Culture, Ernesto Ottone, noted that Tlendiev’s  music played an important role in shaping modern Kazakh national identity as he grounded his creativity in spiritual memory of his people while remaining open to contemporary influences.“Tlendiev’s work reflects something we recognize across all cultures: the power of bringing different elements together. A single note can be beautiful, but it takes many to create harmony. In the same way, when diverse voices are heard and respected, something lasting and meaningful can be built. This idea lies at the heart of UNESCO’s mandate: to promote peace, dialogue, and cooperation across cultures,” he emphasized.President of the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation, Aktoty Raimkulova, highlighted that “Tlendiev’s work united the rich legacy of traditional Kazakh music with modern forms, enriching the cultural treasury of both the Turkic world and humanity overall.”Conveying the warm greetings from Akim (Mayor) of Almaty Darkhan Satybaldy, representative of his office Altynai Alimkhanova said the exhibition’s main goal was to introduce international audiences to the musical heritage of the Kazakh and Turkic peoples and to promote our spiritual wealth through traditional musical instruments. “I wish the exhibition great success and hope it leaves a lasting impression and deep inspiration on all guests”, she added.One of the most moving moments of the ceremony was the heartfelt address by the composer’s daughter, Dinara Tlendiyeva. “It is a great honor for me to be at UNESCO today, in a year when my father’s name is being celebrated. His music has united generations, safeguarded traditions, and stirred deep emotions. Within it, one hears the soul of the steppe, our history, and national pride. I thank UNESCO for helping preserve our shared memory and for building bridges between cultures.”Among the guests were ambassadors and diplomats of UNESCO member states, representatives of the UNESCO Secretariat, music lovers from Paris and beyond, and members of the Kazakh diaspora living in France.In the concluding part of the ceremony, renowned performers of Kazakh folk music — Yerkin Kudaibergen and Serik Nurmoldayev — performed several well-known works by Nurgisa Tlendiev on traditional instruments, powerfully conveying their emotional depth and vitality.The exhibition will remain open to the public at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris until 19 June 2025.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-unesco/press/news/details/1017497?lang=kk
