It is needed to develop health tourism in Astana, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said Wednesday at a meeting on further development of the capital.
The President said that thanks to the improved quality of services the number of deaths from circulatory diseases decreased by 30%, from cancer – by 20%.
“The Center for Motherhood and Childhood has received International accreditation. The clinics implement a new management system. It is needed to develop medical tourism in Astana,” Nursultan Nazarbayev noted.
The Head of State drew attention to a “painful” issue. According to him, due to the significant migration Astana has seen an increase in tuberculosis.
“At the same the tuberculosis dispensary does not meet the standards; it is located in a former dormitory building. This issue should be solved. This is unacceptable for the capital. Such hospitals probably must not be inside the city,” concluded the President.
