They launched a modern MRI device in NKR

A modern MRI device was installed in the regional hospital. The akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov inspected how local doctors will use the functionality of the latest equipment.

Last year, Kumar Aksakalov noted that waiting for months on an MRI line was unacceptable. A patient should not wait longer than one week. He stuck to his word.

In NKR, they are focusing on the acquisition of expensive equipment now, such as MRI, CT, angiographs and mammographs, expert-grade ultrasound and X-ray machines. North Kazakhstanis receive high-quality medical care without leaving the region.

«Today, the regional hospital launched a modern magnetic resonance imager. Doctors began to conduct high-quality diagnostics using modern MRI technology. Now, there are two MRI machines in the regional hospital. By the end of the year, the third MRI will be installed in the oncology center. This will significantly reduce the queue for examination», — the akim of NKR Kumar Aksakalov wrote on his Instagram page.

In 2018, only 636 million tenge were allocated for updating medical equipment. In 2019, the amount was increased 3 times, i.e. up to 2.8 billion tenge. This year, they will acquire modern equipment for 2.8 billion tenge as well.

Last year, a computer tomograph was installed in the regional hospital. Next year, 2 CT devices will be delivered to the Multidisciplinary City Hospital and G. Musrepov District Hospital.

Doctors have performed more than 500 successful surgeries on the new digital angiograph. The same angiograph will be delivered to the regional hospital.

In the oncology dispensary, a digital mammograph detects cancer in the early stages. 4 such mammographs were bought for the districts. They also acquired modern Mercedes reanimobiles. The delivery of Hyundai reanimobiles is expected soon.

The issue of staff shortages in the region is being resolved gradually. In 2018, 56 doctors were recruited. Last year, twice as many, 108 doctors arrived in the region. This year, 120 young specialists are expected to arrive.

Every year, medical facilities are updated. 32 health facilities will be overhauled this year. The construction of a new clinic has begun in Bereke microdistrict.
