Astana to Build 10 New Medical Facilities: What Will Open and When

Astana continues to expand medical infrastructure to ease pressure on existing clinics. Akim (mayor) Zhenis Kasymbek said that this year a reception and diagnostic complex at GMB No. 2 and a children's trauma point will open, and within three years the city will build 10 more medical facilities.

The five-storey complex will cover 7.1 thousand square metres, housing adult and obstetric reception units, a trauma point and a diagnostic block, with capacity for up to 900 visits a day. It will be equipped with CT and MRI scanners, an angiography operating room, and stroke, trauma and resuscitation units. Under a 'one window' principle, patients can receive care from first examination through surgery without leaving the complex.

Kasymbek said a new annex to GMB No. 2 will open by the end of the year to provide emergency trauma care for children. In Sarykarka district, a 250-bed perinatal centre is planned for 2027 and a 300-bed multidisciplinary city hospital for 2029. Over three years, the city plans to build two perinatal centres, one multidisciplinary hospital, five polyclinics and two ambulance substations.
