According to Azamat Duyshonaliev, the director of the Ak-Talinsky District Center for General Medical Practice named after Orozbek Kokkuzov, an ophthalmological device was provided with the support of an international organization to improve the accessibility and quality of ophthalmological services for vulnerable populations in Kyrgyzstan.
Additionally, the National Cardiology and Therapeutic Center named after M. Mirrakhimov has transferred a cardiometer to provide medical assistance to socially vulnerable groups. A "CPAP" machine was also purchased for the maternity ward, ensuring a continuous supply of air for premature infants.
“Previously, we received ophthalmological devices from the Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan. Among them are an autorefractor, a slit lamp, sets for selecting glasses, and 300 pairs of glasses. Since we did not have such devices before and lacked experience in their use, we contacted the Ministry of Health with a request to send an ophthalmologist. They sent a specialist for two months. He has been working for 3-4 days and during this time has examined about 300 people. Soon he will travel to remote villages to provide free assistance to vulnerable populations and distribute the glasses brought with him.
Moreover, through a similar project, we received a cardiometric device from the National Cardiology Center named after M. Mirrakhimov, which we call "Ultrasound Echograph." It has four sensors: one for examining the heart, another for internal organs, the third for the pelvic organs in women, and the fourth for examining blood vessels. Our specialist has undergone training to work with this device and is currently away for two more weeks for further qualification. After returning, he will start seeing patients.
Additionally, to improve the breathing of premature infants, we purchased a "SRAP" machine from our own budget,” A. Duyshonaliev reported.
