With the support of the Kazakhstan Khalkyna Public Foundation, 304 corneal transplants were planned, the total cost of the program is 373 350 280 tenge. In less than a year, 116 operations have already been performed at the KazNMU University Clinic.

A unique Competence Center for Orphan Neurological Diseases has opened in the Aksai Children’s Clinic of Asfendiyarov KazNMU.

The Orphan Neurological Diseases Competence Center consists of several rooms, where comfortable rooms are equipped for therapy, treatment, entertainment and rehabilitation of children with rare diseases. It will provide assistance in the diagnosis, prescribing therapy and support for patients with neuromuscular pathologies.

By the way, the equipment for the rehabilitation of patients is manufactured in Kazakhstan and is in no way inferior to foreign analogues.

An important component of the Center’s work will be the training of neurologists, rehabilitologists, as well as general practitioners and pediatricians from the regions of Kazakhstan and other specialists, including nurses. The center will also carry out research projects on rare neurological diseases.
