On March 16, 2025, the Kazakh National Medical University (KazNMU) once again demonstrated that true medicine is not only a science but also compassion. On this day, the university not only united hearts but also extended a helping hand to those who need it most.
The Department of Social Work of the Department of Social and Educational Work (DSVR), together with volunteers from the Alliance of Volunteers KazNMU, participated in a charity event organized by Associate Professor of the Department of Pediatric Diseases at KazNMU, Dina Bazaralovna Ismailova. This event once again proved that good deeds are not just one-time actions but a true way of life.
More Than Charity
The charity event organized by Dina Bazaralovna went beyond the usual collection of goods. It was not just about providing material aid to those in need but about telling a story of human compassion and sincere devotion to the cause of mercy. The collected clothes, medicines, and other essential items were delivered to children with
disabilities and low-income families in the village of Zhosaly.
But what is particularly touching about this story is the personal involvement of the organizer herself. Dina Bazaralovna Ismailova is not just a doctor and lecturer—she is a person with a big heart, for whom helping children is a life mission.
A Path of Compassion: The Story of Dina Bazaralovna
Dina Bazaralovna Ismailova is a well-known figure in Kazakhstan’s medical community. She is a recipient of the "Altyn Däriger" award, a former chief pediatrician of Almaty, a respected educator, and a mentor for future doctors. However, her work extends far beyond university classrooms and medical offices.
In 2018, she took a significant step that changed the lives of many families: she founded the rehabilitation center "Dametken Ana" in her hometown of Zhosaly, located in the Karmakshy district of the Kyzylorda region, using her personal funds. This center has
become a true haven of hope for hundreds of families raising children with
special needs. Here, young patients receive qualified medical care, support
from specialists, and, most importantly, a chance for a decent life.
A Personal Example That Inspires
Today, Dina Bazaralovna's contribution to society is invaluable. Her work inspires hundreds of students and faculty members at KazNMU, showing that medicine is not just a profession but a calling. Thanks to her initiatives, young people learn empathy, humanity, and social responsibility.
Everyone who participates in such initiatives realizes that kindness is more than just words and wishes. It is expressed in concrete actions, in the desire to help, and in the effort to make the world a better place.
Dina Bazaralovna’s story proves that one person can change many lives. Her example motivates people to help, support, and create opportunities for those in need.
