A unified system of children's rehabilitation will be created in Pavlodar region

Children's rehabilitation centers will be opened in buildings and premises where state bodies were previously located. The head of the region Abylkair Skakov instructed to organize a unified system of rehabilitation of children of various directions.

A day care center for children with autism and other mental disorders will be opened in the former building of the Pavlodar District Court. Almira Disyupova, head of the Department for the Coordination of Employment and Social Programs, said that special children will be able to engage in art, music and occupational therapy here.

- The project provides a playroom, sewing, pottery and carpentry workshops, a sensory room, - said Almira Disyupova. - The most important thing is a convenient transport interchange. You can get here both by tram, and by bus or minibus.

Abylkair Skakov noted that there is a high demand in the region for services for children with the autistic spectrum. He instructed to create all the necessary conditions for rehabilitation, correction, and, if necessary, treatment of special children.

- Now our task is to make high-quality repairs and deliver equipment. - said the head of the region. - Also, it is necessary to train specialists, psychologists to work in the center in parallel.

The akim of the region instructed to hand over the facility at the end of the summer so that the center would open its doors to visitors as soon as possible. Abylkair Skakov obliged the responsible persons to take strict control of the repair work and work closely with the contractor.

The chief doctor of the children's regional hospital Ardak Kuzekov announced plans for the construction of a new building. At the same time, he spoke about plans to connect the existing buildings with a gallery.

- We want to place a triage center for receiving patients in the new building, - said Ardak Kuzekov. - All patients are divided into three categories: planned, preoperative and emergency.

Abylkair Skakov noted the uniqueness of the medical institution, which provides highly specialized outpatient and inpatient care to children throughout the region. He instructed the construction department together with the city akimat to study the communications network at the planned construction site.

- I instruct you to make a topological survey of the area, - said the head of the region. - It is necessary to carry out this work promptly to find out if there is a possibility of construction.

A regional rehabilitation center will start operating on the basis of the former children's sanatorium. It will provide treatment and care after injuries, orthopedic operations, correction of birth defects, somatic and neurological diseases.

The head of the region instructed the head of the construction department Kadylzhan Satiyev to draw up a plan for the reconstruction of the building and landscaping of the territory. Abylkair Skakov noted the need to study the best practices of the Kazakh and foreign content of such centers.

- It is necessary to equip the center with the most modern equipment so that our children receive quality treatment without leaving the region or the country, - said the akim of the region. - The rehabilitation center should turn into a place of attraction for children and their parents.

In the regional perinatal center, the head of the region told the staff of the maternity hospital about the policy of returning social facilities according to the original purpose.

- There was a period when medical institutions were given over to administrative buildings or business facilities, - said Abylkair Skakov. - Now the reverse process is taking place - we are transferring administrative buildings for social facilities.

An early intervention center "Kamkorlyk" will be opened in a two-story building on Toraighyrov Street, where the department of the second city hospital was located. After reconstruction and opening, rehabilitation care will cover children with a wide range of diagnoses. Consultation and treatment will be provided by such narrow specialists as a rehabilitologist, a neurologist, a surdologist, a speech therapist, a defectologist and an occupational therapist.

The regional authorities also plan to expand the children's rehabilitation center located at the corner of Lermontov-Mashkhur Zhusupa streets. Now the center shares premises with the Department of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Control Committee of the Ministry of Health. After the relocation of the state agency, a room with a total area of about three hundred square meters will be released. After the renovation, it is planned to place physical therapy rooms and build a swimming pool for infants. The management of the center expects that after the expansion, the number of visits per shift will increase from one hundred to one hundred and thirty per shift. Taking into account the fact that the rehabilitation center works in two shifts, the number of free visits will increase to two hundred and sixty.

The overhaul will take place in a specialized children's home, where kids from socially disadvantaged families are brought up. There are plans to repair the facade and interior with a complete replacement of window and door blocks, heating systems and wiring.

Thanks to the implemented measures, a full-fledged chain of children's outpatient treatment and rehabilitation is being built in the region.
