A new important event of the "Breathe, baby" project of the "AYALA" charity foundation passed today – it was transferred medical equipment, intended for the care of infants born prematurely to the South Kazakhstan regional perinatal center №3 of the Turkestan town. The total cost of vital equipment for Turkestan is 8 999 500 tenge.

“Kaspi Bank” JSC was a general partner and traditionally a sponsor. Partnership of the foundation and the leader of Kazakhstan's financial market allow our doctors to provide more effective assistance to children who are in department of pediatric resuscitation.

During the five years of the "Breathe, baby" project vital equipment for premature infants was established in almost all pediatric resuscitations of maternity and perinatal centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The project is implemented jointly with the Ministry and the regional health department and with the support of patrons, one of which is Vyacheslav Kim, kaspi bank head of the Board of Directors. Just last year kaspi bank transferred to the foundation 38 million tenge, and in just 5 years donations amounted to about 100 million tenge. For 5 years the "Breathe, baby" project helped health workers significantly reduce the infant mortality rate in the perinatal centers.  

This fact was notedby the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Vyacheslav KIM, head of the Boardof Directors of JSC "Kaspi Bank": “We traditionally support the "AYALA" charity foundation in its projects, one of which, the “Breathe, baby” project is the most important in our opinion! Kaspi bank is a socially responsible company and we are confident that by their actions, we will not only save the children’s lives, but also set an example to other local companies begin to solve important social issues. Thanks to Kazakhstan doctors, to the "AYALA" foundation for their selfless efforts to save children's lives, it is our future."

Alma ILYASOVA, chief physician of the regional perinatal center №3 of Turkestan town:  "For a long time I have known about the "Breathe, baby" project. My colleagues, directors of perinatal centers and heads of departments of pediatric resuscitation, noted that the equipment they received from the "AYALA" foundation, helping to save babies' lives, provide high-tech help for children born prematurely. We are very pleased that assistance of the "AYALA" foundation came in Turkestan".

Zhangeldy SARSENOV, vice-President of the "AYALA" foundation: "In Southern Kazakhstan is high level of fertility.  In one of the four perinatal centers each year are born the same infants like in perinatal centers of Northern Kazakhstan.  Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with which our foundation implements the "Breathe, baby" project recommended us to pay special attention to this region. This year, our foundation transferred modern equipment in two perinatal centers of SKR. We hope that this initiative will support all residents and people from Shymkent and its region".
