Approximately 20
medical university students from the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan recently
completed training in Astana. During the program, they were introduced to the
practices of local doctors and learned about new technologies used in
healthcare. The seminars were organized by the Kazakhstan Agency for
International Development (KazAID). The project was launched last year and conducted
in two phases, offering educational courses for future doctors and faculty
members from specialized universities across Central Asia.
«It wasn’t just the
Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan - Tajikistan also took part, so three countries
were involved. This is very important for cultural and knowledge exchange,» shared
Akylai Shakenova, student of the Kyrgyz State Medical Academy.
This is not the only
such program. Kazakhstan also exchanges knowledge and expertise with the countries
in the region across various fields. By expanding academic mobility programs,
the Central Asian countries are strengthening their partnership.
«This program is
offered free of charge to participants thanks to a KazAID grant. We have three
key programs, including ‘Dostyk-Diplomacy’ for training diplomats, ‘Avicenna:
Healthcare’ for medical professionals, and ‘Dostyk: Digitalization’ for IT
specialists. All these programs are aimed at professionals from Central Asian
countries - we invite them to Kazakhstan for training, and this is already the
second year of the project,» noted Armanai Kabdeshova, Press Secretary of the Kazakhstan
Agency for International Development «KazAID».
