Almaty Modernizes Medical Facilities with 50 New Ambulances
Almaty, Kazakhstan, is taking significant steps to modernize its medical facilities, as Mayor Bakytzhan Sagintayev announced the handover of 50 new Hyundai H350 BUS Ambulance vehicles to the city's emergency services. This is part of a three-year plan aimed at improving healthcare access and quality in the city.
The new ambulances, equipped with defibrillators, electrocardiographs, ventilators, and other essential medical equipment, will help reduce response times to patients during the pandemic, with another 50 ambulances expected to arrive at the beginning of next year. In total, 135 new ambulances will be acquired in the current year and next year.
The focus on timely assistance during the pandemic is crucial for the health of the city's citizens, and the mayor appealed to the people of Almaty to take care of their health. The acquisition of new medical equipment and ambulances is part of the ongoing efforts to modernize Almaty's medical facilities.
The three-year plan also includes building new medical institutions and replacing old, unsuitable facilities to better serve residents, including those in rural areas with previously limited access to healthcare. The aim is to provide services to around 1 million rural residents, indicating a significant expansion of healthcare infrastructure.
Moreover, the plan includes the integration of new technologies, such as digital solutions and AI, to improve diagnostics, personalized treatment, and continuous patient monitoring, freeing healthcare professionals from routine tasks and increasing transparency and efficiency in service delivery.
While the precise roadmap for Almaty is not fully detailed in the publicly available summaries, the overall approach is comprehensive and includes infrastructural upgrades, technological integration, and enhanced emergency medical services over the coming three years. This plan aligns with Kazakhstan's nationwide healthcare improvement strategies, as reported in August 2025, reflecting government priorities to modernize healthcare access and quality across urban and rural areas.
In addition, approximately 4,200 units of medical equipment have been purchased for 74 hospitals and clinics this year, but no information about the cost of the vehicles or the plan was given in the paragraph.
The vehicles were handed over to the city's emergency services in Almaty, and the report was made on the mayor's Instagram page. The acquisition of these new ambulances is expected to significantly improve emergency response and treatment capabilities in Almaty, benefiting the health and well-being of its citizens.
