Special attention is paid to the development of healthcare in the region. Construction of new medical institutions, strengthening the material-technical base of existing healthcare facilities, improving the quality of medical services to the population.

The region is successfully completing the implementation of the State Program "Densaulyk", which has significantly improved the quality and availability of medical care for residents.

Over the past 3 years, more than 30 medical institutions with a total cost of more than 11 billion tenge have been built in the region, including an ambulance station, an ophthalmological clinic "Daru Zharygy", 22 health facilities in rural areas (12 outpatient clinics, 4 paramedic-obstetric stations, 6 medical stations).

From year to year, the equipment of medical institutions with innovative new-generation medical equipment is improving.

There is a regional medical cluster – the largest multi – specialty hospital in the western region - "Aktobemedicalcenter» for 600 beds.

All this has led to an improvement in the main demographic indicators of the region: over the past 3 years, the life expectancy of the population has increased from 72 to 73.4 years, the birth rate – by 4.9%, and the overall mortality rate has decreased by 5.7%.

In 2020, it is planned to open a new Center for Motherhood and Childhood by combining the regional perinatal center and the children's regional hospital, where pre-delivery monitoring will be organized – a women's consultation with a medical and genetic laboratory and an IVF center, a maternity and neonatal unit for nursing newborns, a department for postpartum monitoring of women and children.

The merger will allow for the immediate transfer of children with congenital malformations who need surgical treatment to neonatal or cardiac surgery.

In addition, in order to reduce the shortage of personnel and the availability of quality medical care in rural areas, this year funds from the local budget were allocated to 50 doctors at 1.5 million tenge each for the purchase of housing.

Despite all this, it should be noted that residents of the region have comments on the work of ambulance services in terms of rapid response to calls.

This issue is under the control of the regional administration, and all necessary measures to improve the quality of medical services will be taken.
