Illegally obtained funds used for constructing health care infrastructure in contested area
In the heart of the Akmola region, two crucial health facilities have sprung up - a technologically advanced medical clinic in the quaint village of Arnasai, Arshaly District, and a state-of-the-art feldsher-midwifery station in the picturesque village of Altyndy, Bulandy District. These facilities are constructed from assets once illicitly extracted, with a sum of approximately 295 million tenge drawn from the Special State Fund for this commendable project, as reported by Vechernyaya Astana, citing the Government of Kazakhstan.
The medical clinic in Arnasai nestles among over 2,000 residents from adjacent villages such as Eltok, Koigeldy, Batay station, and 42 outposts. Sitting pretty on 450 square meters, this structural marvel accommodates 45 visits per shift gracefully. Equipped with up-to-date equipment encompassing ECG machines, defibrillators, physiotherapy and rehabilitation equipment, this clinic promises to elevate the quality and easiness of primary healthcare for rural dwellers.
Altyndy, Bulandy District, now boasts a feldsher-midwifery station enriched with modern tools, all designed to cater to around 1,000 residents from the villages of Altyndy, Alakol, Zhanatalap, Eltai, and Boyarka. Much like its counterpart, this facility is geared to provide optimal and swift medical care.
The grand opening ceremony was graced by Deputy Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan Galymzhan Koigeldiev, and the Akim (Governor) of Akmola region, Marat Ahmetjanov.
Noteworthy, the construction of three more medical clinics, four feldsher-midwifery stations, and one medical point is nearing completion in the Akmola region. A bourgeoning 1.7 billion tenge from the Special State Fund has been allocated for the construction of these ten health facilities, which will significantly boost the healthcare services provided in the region.
This marks a pivotal moment in the Akmola region's growth, signaling an expansion of social and communal projects, including healthcare, education, sports, and public infrastructure modernization. Acknowledging the funds for these projects is derived from returned assets, inspiring a shift towards consolidating such resources for social development in Kazakhstan.
The medical clinic in Arnasai, with its advanced science equipment like ECG machines and physiotherapy gear, aims to revolutionize primary healthcare in rural communities, benefiting over 2,000 residents from nearby villages.
The newly established feldsher-midwifery station in Altyndy, equipped with modern tools, is dedicated to delivering optimal medical care to approximately 1,000 residents from surrounding villages, aligning with the region's focus on health-and-wellness improvement.
