A large-scale stage of children's medical examinations has come to a close across four of our program target regions: Kok-Chu, B. Mambetov, Bel-Aldy, and Zhapalak. Over the course of two months, specialists from the "Kroha" children's clinic conducted comprehensive check-ups to identify health issues in children in a timely manner and provide the necessary support.
📊 Key Figures and Facts:
- 7,453 children were planned for coverage under the agreement.
- 340 additional children were examined by the "Kroha" clinic completely free of charge.
- 7,793 children in total underwent initial medical check-ups in 2026!
Based on the examination results, healthcare specialists highlighted key areas requiring further attention: 314 cases of myopia, 158 cases of chronic tonsillitis, 248 cases of earwax impaction, alongside other conditions requiring medical follow-up.
The collected data is already being processed by our team. All findings will form the foundation for planning new health-related projects, initiatives, and targeted assistance for 2027, ensuring that every child grows up strong and healthy.
We extend our sincere gratitude to our partners and everyone involved for their care and commitment to the future of the younger generation!
