Today the ceremony of granting the medical equipment designed to providing highly qualified medical help to children who are kept in the intensive care unit and surgery department was held in the Republican children’s clinical hospital “Aksai”.  

In 2011-2012 some superefficient projects of the charity foundation “AYALA” in the sphere of children’s healthcare became republican. It is referred to the project “Breathe, baby” oriented towards providing necessary equipment to the children’s intensive care units in maternity hospitals and perinatal centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan and this also refers to the project “Breathe life” in the frameworks of which the foundation “AYALA” helps the intensive care units of children’s hospitals of different profile. During the realization of these two projects the help was provided to children’s healthcare institutions in the cities of Almaty, Karaganda, Semei, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Atyrau, Taraz, Aktobe, Kyzylorda, Shymkent, Petropavlovsk. This help was highly appreciated by employees of maternity hospitals, perinatal centers and children’s hospitals.    

The Republican children’s clinical hospital “Aksai” became the subsequent beneficiary of the project “Breathe life”. This hospital is one of the oldest republican hospitals in Kazakhstan that provides medical and rehabilitation assistance to children with serious orthopedic and neurologic pathology all over the country. Annually about 1000 children with ICP undergo rehabilitation treatment; more than 1300 children aged from 2 months to 15 years are operated on different innate or acquired diseases.

Material and technical foundation of hospital became old; the worn-out state of medical equipment exceeds 75%. The critical condition with the provision of modern anesthesia and respiratory apparatus, equipment for artificial lung ventilation and control of the vital functions. 

Once again Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan acceded to a request to help in the realization of expensive medical project of the charity foundation “AYALA”. 15 440 000 tenge that was transferred by Halyk bank to the foundation “AYALA” were allocated for obtainment of one anesthesia and respiratory apparatus, two apparatuses of artificial lung ventilation and three fetal monitors.  

According to the words of the Republican children’s clinical hospital “Aksai”, Ernest Kaliyev, this equipment meets all modern requirements and it will significantly raise the quality of provided help: “Over the last years we expanded the list of provided high-specialized medical services (HSMS) in such children’s surgery profiles as orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, otorhinolaryngology and urology. We set tasks for the nearest 3 years on the expansion of the list of HSMS as well as profiles on children’s surgery, for example, abdominal and thoracic surgery, vertebrology. All this is impossible without modern anesthetic and intensive care equipment. Thanks to the timid help provided by the charity foundation “AYALA” and Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan we can implement a range of midterm projects this year”.

Vice chairman of the Board of Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan Marat Almenov commented on the bank’s participation in this project with the following words: “Halyk Bank since 2008 has become a constant partner of the charity foundation “AYALA”. The bank has taken active part in the projects on the provision of the maternity hospitals and departments in the central regional hospitals of Almaty with the phototherapy machines for treating newborn jaundice, supporting the development of children’s cardio-surgery in our country. Within its frameworks the National scientific surgery center named after Syzganov received medical equipment to surgery department and intensive care unit. The bank also assisted with the provision of necessary equipment to the children’s intensive care units and perinatal centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan and many other institutions. As the time showed – our cooperation with the charity foundation “AYALA” is fruitful. These are real deeds and results which can be seen in the working process in the children’s departments of the maternity hospitals, children’s hospitals and medical centers”.   

Murat Tastanbekov who represents the Healthcare Ministry of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty city marked in his speech the high importance of such projects of the charity foundation “AYALA” as “Breathe, baby”, “I also want to live” and “Breathe life”. The Healthcare Ministry of the Republic of Kazakhstan highly appreciates the work of charity foundation “AYALA” in the sphere of children’s medicine. Let us remind that the president of the charity foundation “AYALA” was continually awarded with the rewards and thanks by the Healthcare Ministry. Today Murat Tastanbekov has brought a letter of thanks which was signed personally by the current Minister of Healthcare Salidat Kairbekova. This letter was presented on the solemn meeting of the staff members of the Republican children’s hospital “Aksai”.

In his turn a vice-president of the charity foundation “AYALA” Zhangeldy Sarsenov noticed: “As a doctor, I am glad that we implement our republican projects in the closer interaction with the Healthcare Ministry and administrations of the children’s hospitals. One of the working principles of “AYALA” foundation – “Not to replace state under any circumstances, but to work in concordance with the state”. Our foundation is eager to provide the most efficient help in all projects”.   

The foundation “AYALA” provides help to the hospital “Aksai” not for the first time. In the end of the previous year a sensory room was opened and a room of therapeutic physical training was reequipped with the modern facilities in the hospital. This equipment has already helped the doctors to make rehabilitation work more efficient and, the most important fact is that the treatment has become interesting for patients.   

A hospital director Ernest Kaliyev marked high efficiency of all foundation’s projects and expressed his hope for further cooperation. Our foundation hopes that the needs of “Aksai” hospital, which in 2014 will celebrate the 60^th anniversary of its foundation, will be awake an echo in all people’s hearts who don’t feel indifferent to the fate of the hospital patients.
