TİKA Supports the Clinical Diagnostic Center of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University

Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) provided medical equipment to the Clinical Diagnostic Center of the Faculty of Medicine of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University in Turkistan, Kazakhstan. 

As part of TİKA’s Equipment Donation Project, a total of 290 sets of medical equipment, including patient beds, electric motorized patient beds, refrigerators, dining tables, and bedside tables, were delivered to the Clinical Diagnostic Center of the Faculty of Medicine of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University and installed.

The delivery ceremony was attended by Cengiz Tomar, Deputy Rector of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University; Osman Acar, Chief Physician of the Clinical Diagnostic Center; and hospital staff. 

Speaking to an AA reporter, İsmail Gürlek, TİKA’s Nur-Sultan Program Coordinator, stated that the project was not their first assistance activity, and that TİKA had previously supported the Clinical Diagnostic Center of the Faculty of Medicine of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, which has been providing health services to the residents of Turkistan and nearby provinces for many years.

Gürlek stressed that they donated more medical equipment this time, and said, “The Clinical Diagnostic Center of the Faculty of Medicine of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University was opened with the financial support of the Republic of Turkey in 2008 in order to provide health services to the residents of Turkistan and the people of the Republic of Kazakhstan and train the doctors of the future. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Kazakhstan, a friendly and sister nation, on the 30^th anniversary of its independence. Please accept this project as a meaningful gift from Turkey to all the residents of Turkistan.” Reminding that they had previously provided medical equipment to the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic at the Multidisciplinary Medical Center in Nur-Sultan, the capital of Kazakhstan, Gürlek said, “In this context, as TİKA, we hope that we will be able to implement similar people-oriented projects that focus on human health.”
