“During trips to the regions, people asked questions: why do they have three villages with one rural outpatient clinic, they asked for one hospital so that we do not travel 400 km for treatment. However, according to our standards, a hospital can be located in a settlement with a population of 4-5 thousand people. At the same time, the President set the task to establish medical facilities within walking distance. When specialists of a narrow profile are required, it is necessary to transport them to the regional center. But the main medical services should be within walking distance, ” said Nurlan Abdirov, Senate Vice Speaker during a meeting of the Committee for Social and Cultural Development and Science.
