According to Yessimov, over 1 million tenge ($6.7 million) were allocated from the budget for its construction. “The polyclinic will render services to the citizens of Turksib region with the coverage of 37 thousand people. It is equipped with modern equipment. There will be 305 members of medical personnel, including 88 doctors,” Yessimov said. According to Kassymzhanova, all departments of the hospital are separate and have their own entrances. Few of the old hospitals are designed this way. “Turksib region of Almaty has four hospitals for adults, but they were not enough and were overloaded. That’s why the new hospital was built in 1.5 years,” Kassymzhanova said. According to her, this is the best equipped polyclinic in the region. Its doctors were specially trained to work with the state-of-the art equipment. By Asemgul Kassenova
