A regular staff meeting was held under the chairmanship of Director of the Research Institute of Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sayagul Kairgeldina. It was attended by deputy directors, heads of structural divisions, employees of the Central Office and the management of the branch of the Burabay Medical and Wellness Complex.
The Director of the Institute informed her colleagues in detail about the key changes in the draft of the new Constitution, in particular, the amendments to articles 7 and 23. Their main goal is to strengthen the protection of life and health of citizens.
"It is important to understand clearly that we are not talking about restricting freedom of speech or religion," said Sayagul Kairgeldina. "The amendments are aimed exclusively at those cases when people are encouraged to refuse vital treatment under the guise of "personal opinion" or beliefs."
She noted that such recommendations, unfortunately, have repeatedly led to outbreaks of infectious diseases and tragic consequences, including among children. The State is obliged to protect those who cannot independently defend their right to life and health. Medical decisions, she said, should be based solely on scientific evidence and evidence-based medicine, rather than on unverified rumors and dangerous myths.
The second important set of amendments concerns article 32. Sayagul Kairgeldina emphasized that the right to free medical care remains inviolable and guaranteed.
"The amendments do not abolish free medicine, but only expand the possibilities of its financing," the director explained. "Now funds for the treatment of citizens can be directed not only from the national budget, but also from the Kazakhstan Halkyna Fund, from international organizations and large companies. For patients, this means more resources and more affordable quality care. At the same time, paid medicine remains exclusively voluntary and at the choice of the person himself."
According to the head of the Institute, all the proposed changes are aimed at achieving a balance between personal rights and shared responsibility to society. They will make the healthcare system more sustainable, modern and reliable, where priority is always given to the life and safety of citizens.
At the end of the meeting, Sayagul Kairgeldina called on all employees to show active citizenship and take part in the republican referendum on March 15.
"The voice of each of us is important. Together we are building the future of our country," she concluded.
