Deputy Nilufar Alimjanova asked about the beginning of more accurate disease identification. Aibek Matkerimov noted that there are key signs that parents should pay attention to in the first months of their children's lives, such as reaction to light. All necessary information leaflets are available in clinics, and family doctors help clarify the information for parents.
The deputy emphasized the importance of raising awareness, as many parents may not know the signs of Down syndrome and do not seek medical help.
