In her welcoming address, Institute Director Sayagul Kairgeldina emphasised the importance of health resort treatment and medical rehabilitation in the system of preserving the health of the working-age population.
“Modern health resort medicine and medical rehabilitation have significant potential to address these challenges. Disease prevention, health recovery, risk factor reduction and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle should be viewed as interconnected elements of human capital preservation,” said Sayagul Kairgeldina.
As part of the events, the Kazakhstani delegation proposed hosting the II Eurasian Forum on Longevity of Working Life in Kazakhstan. The initiative aims to expand professional dialogue and strengthen interregional cooperation in protecting the health of the working population.

“For Kazakhstan, the development of the health resort industry is one of the key areas for strengthening preventive and restorative medicine. We view balneology and health resort medicine as an interdisciplinary field that brings together medical science, natural therapeutic resources, modern technologies, rehabilitation and the potential of medical tourism,” the Institute Director emphasised.
