Karaganda has become a platform for discussing modern approaches in medicine

Innovations in medicine were discussed in Karaganda: how the technologies of the future are already being successfully applied – robotic operations, 3D planning and artificial intelligence. The international conference brought together specialists in traumatology, orthopedics and rehabilitation from different countries. The meeting was timed to coincide with the 110th anniversary of Professor Hafiz Makazhanov and the 75th anniversary of Karaganda Medical University.

The participants were greeted by Deputy Akim of Karaganda region Oraz Taurbekov.

- We are proud that such a landmark event is taking place in our region. It gives an impetus to the development of traumatology. Doctors get the opportunity to exchange opinions and discuss topical issues with the world's leading experts," he said.

The Karaganda School of Traumatology is recognized as one of the strongest in Kazakhstan. Local experts have a lot to share.

- Advanced technologies are used not only in the capital. I am glad that all this has been implemented in such large cities as Karaganda, where there are powerful centers and such a large human resource potential is concentrated. Robotic systems with artificial intelligence elements can minimize the risk of errors in the most complex operations. For example, as joint prosthetics in traumatology," said Olzhas Bekarisov, director of the Batpenov National Scientific Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics.

For the first time in Kazakhstan, a cadaverous course on spinal and pelvic surgery was held within the framework of the conference. The doctors practiced their skills on anatomical material, as they do in leading clinics in Europe and the USA.

According to the director of the Makazhanov Hospital, Dauyr Kurmangaliev, the importance of the conference lies in lively professional communication, which gives rise to new ideas and projects.

The participants discussed modern methods of treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system and exchanged experiences. Special attention was paid to nursing care in the recovery of patients after injuries and operations.

An exhibition of medical technologies was presented, from robotic complexes and endoscopic systems to solutions with artificial intelligence.
