Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev approved the naming of sectoral higher education institutions after medical figures. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
The head of state expressed support for the idea of assigning names of individuals who have made significant contributions to the country's healthcare system to educational organizations. This initiative aims to foster a sense of patriotism and professional pride among young people, as well as to promote achievements in the medical field.
This step by the president is part of a comprehensive effort to improve the medical education system in the country and enhance the prestige of the healthcare sector. According to Tokayev, such measures will help improve the quality of training for medical professionals and attract young talent to the industry.
It is worth noting that previously in Kazakhstan, several higher education institutions were named after prominent scientists and public figures. Now, similar practices are planned for medical universities.
To implement this initiative, relevant ministries and departments have been tasked with developing specific proposals. When approving new names, the contribution of medical figures to the development of the country's healthcare system will be taken into account.
The president's initiative has received broad public support, with representatives of the medical community and the education sector expressing positive opinions. They believe that such a step will positively influence the professional orientation of young people and increase the prestige of the medical profession.
