BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 14. More than 5.7
billion tenge (about $12.6 million) has been allocated for the
implementation of three healthcare projects in Kazakhstan's Aktobe
region.
This was announced in a statement published by the Kazakh
Government.
According to the information, the funds will be used to build a
new emergency medical care substation in Aktobe and additional
buildings for a polyclinic in Irgiz district and the regional
mental health center in the Zhanakonys residential area. All three
projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.
A new emergency medical care substation with capacity to handle
25,000 calls per year will be built in the Kargaly residential area
of Aktobe. The project is valued at more than 3 billion tenge ($6.7
million) and will include a garage for 10 ambulances.
“The new substation will help reduce ambulance response times
and improve the efficiency of emergency medical care for residents
of the rapidly developing Kargaly, Akzhar, Koktem and Kyzylzhar
residential areas and other suburban territories,” the Government
of Kazakhstan said.
Seven ambulance teams currently operating at the existing
substation serve a population of around 110,000 people. The active
development of these areas is increasing demand for emergency
medical services.
The remaining funds will be used to expand existing healthcare
facilities in the region.
A two-story polyclinic building with capacity for 300 patient
visits per shift will be constructed at the Irgiz district
hospital. The project is valued at 1.3 billion tenge ($2.9
million).
Meanwhile, two-story building will also be added to the regional
mental health center in the Zhanakonys residential area at a cost
of 1.4 billion tenge ($3.1 million).
The projects are expected to expand available medical facilities
and improve access to healthcare services in the region.
Currency conversions are based on Kazakhstan's official exchange
rate of 450.9 tenge per $1 as of S
