Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that Kazakhstan’s National Center of Neurosurgery greatly contributes to the development of neurosurgery in the country.

«This institution ranks among the best healthcare organizations in Central Asia. Last year it was the first in the region to install Gamma Knife radiosurgery treatment system. In 2021, the doctors of the Center carried out around 500 complicated surgeries. Our country creates all the conditions for close interaction with the world’s renowned specialists, for exchange of experience, and for the implementation of advanced technologies into domestic neurosurgery.
