I have been living in Kaskelen for 30 years. And I will say that with the state. Medicine, it's only getting worse.
From personal experience and the experience of close friends:
Within two months, 5 neighbors died of heart disease. FIVE people in two months !!!! They lived in the private sector . There were the nearest neighbors (over the fence) . Is there anything else to say about the level of medicine?
For an urgent visit to the core, the ambulance goes for 40-60 minutes!!! Even at night. Inexperienced young paramedics often come. How can an ambulance go 40-60 minutes to the core, if you can walk this distance in 30 minutes ???
Even if you are brought to the emergency room, it is not a fact that they will help you professionally there. During the week, he was admitted to the ambulance several times with an acute attack of pancreatitis. They have never been hospitalized or even relieved the pain. The pain is relieved only with an injection of analgin. Which is of zero use. I had to go to the city by taxi and there in a paid medical center, I was already prescribed treatment that immediately began to help.
In any case, I would advise you to contact the Kaskelen hospital only as a last resort.
There is no common work of administrators on the ground floor and doctors. I was faced with the fact that they say there is a live queue on the ground floor, the queue is lagging behind and the doctor refuses to take it without a coupon. A good optometrist (namely a man), a cardiologist on the ground floor is also a good specialist. It is upsetting that if you need CT, MRI, ultrasound, then you have to go to other clinics. And okay, if they are in Kaskelen, otherwise you need to go to Almaty or the village of Chemolgan.
A decent hospital where you can get treated and diagnosed and undergo current screening. There are doctors in all profiles. There is a laboratory for analysis and much more. Here you can register under the OSMS and then the service will be free for you.
