In general, she noted in the region the poor organization of medical care at the PHC level by therapists, GPs for medical examination of patients, primary and secondary prevention of stroke, which causes high mortality at home. And as a result, there is a low proportion - only 42.4% of persons taken on the "D" account, after a stroke.

Among the main problems in the work of the oncological service of the Atyrau region, the minister pointed to the lack of personnel of narrow specialists (cytopathomorphologists, chemotherapists, medical physicists, thoracic oncologists, oncourologists).

A. Giniyat drew attention during the meeting that the building of the Atyrau Oncological Dispensary was recognized as emergency, it is necessary to build a new building of the main and radiological buildings.
