Abay Baigenzhin: A medical university graduate doesn’t know how to approach a patient

In 2024, the honorary title of «Honored Doctor of Kazakhstan» was established for the first time. This once again emphasized the importance of the medical profession for the state. We spoke with the head of the National Scientific Medical Center, Abai Baigenzhin, who was among the first recipients of this award, about the quality of medical education today. We also discussed what was done right and what mistakes were made in the reform of Kazakhstan’s healthcare system.
