The stroke rehabilitation center is equipped with latest technology. It was praised not only by our, but also by British specialists. The surdological and coloproctological centers were founded in May 2013.

For the first time in the practice of regional health care, the high-tech operations at the regional clinic hospital level have been introduced, although earlier these patients had to go to Almaty and Astana, or even abroad to get treatment. These are departments of orthopedics, surgery, gynecology, vascular surgery, urology, etc.

Your team enjoys a well-deserved reputation of qualified specialists. What helped doctors to achieve such professional results?

Modern equipment, and most importantly, the constant improvement of the skills of doctors in leading clinics and medical centers of neighboring countries and beyond allow doctors of the regional clinical hospital to perform complicated surgical interventions. Thus, orthopedists successfully operate patients who require the replacement of knee and hip joints. Gynecologists were the first in the region to master and start implementing 3D laparoscopic operations. Neurosurgeons perform unique surgical operations for the spine with the use of neuro-navigation.
