In remote villages, access to specialized medical services is often limited: to undergo an ultrasound examination, parents have to cover transportation costs to travel to the district center themselves or travel to Bishkek, incurring additional expenses for transport and accommodation.
Free mobile medical check-ups provided by Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic help reduce significant financial and logistical barriers for families. A powerful example of the project's real impact is the case of a child from Sary-Sogot village: doctors timely detected acute hepatic echinococcosis with a large liver cyst, which posed a life-threatening risk. The family was immediately advised to seek urgent specialized treatment and travelled to Bishkek for emergency surgical care.
Interview with a medical check-up participant:
Elnura Anarbekova, a resident of Sary-Sogot village:
"We have been collaborating with Good Neighbors for several years. Taking children for a medical examination somewhere far away — to Bishkek or even to the district center — often proves difficult for various reasons. We express our deep gratitude to Good Neighbors for bringing special equipment directly to our village and providing the opportunity to examine our young children and monitor their health. I believe that preventive medical check-ups are extremely important: we might not notice the symptoms of certain diseases in time, and if left untreated, it can lead to tragic consequences. Such examinations help us take care of our children's health, monitor it in advance, and prevent various diseases!"
