This once again emphasizes that the city authorities, the health department and the scientific community are interested in providing high-quality medical services to the population. One stroke center by order of the Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan is designed to serve 250 thousand people. And there is a need for the functioning of new centers, since there is an increase in the number of stroke patients. So, in 2020, about 4,000 people fell ill with a stroke in Shymkent. As for the Turkestan region, 9 stroke centers are currently open and operating. In 2020, 5,000 people turned to neurologists for medical help. They are working on improving the service and monitoring the implementation of indicators of the roadmap for stroke. The creation and functioning of the centers allows us to provide patients not only with qualified medical and surgical care, but also to improve the rehabilitation processes at times.

Tomorrow, master’s students, doctoral students, residents, and young scientists from Kazakhstan and Russia will take part in the discussion and make presentations.
