“The doctor says: ‘You need to get blood from the center, then go to a private clinic for a compatibility test. Only after that can we perform the transfusion.’ This applies to emergency situations. Every second counts, and we risk losing the patient,” the deputy noted, questioning how such a practice could arise.
Sadyrbaeva also pointed out that according to current regulations, relatives are not required to deliver blood themselves — this is the responsibility of the medical staff. Each hospital should have a designated employee and specialized transport for these needs.
Furthermore, the deputy highlighted bureaucratic obstacles related to hospitalization. She noted that there are no clear standard operating procedures (SOP) for admitting critically ill patients to intensive care, which leads to delays and queues.
Zhyldyz Sadyrbaeva also addressed the issue of accessibility to diagnostics. She proposed making coronary angiography free in emergency situations and mentioned the shortage of necessary medications.
“Barium, which is essential for diagnostics, has been unavailable in the republic for over a year. This problem needs to be urgently addressed,” the deputy concluded.
In conclusion, she urged the government to take control of resolving the issues raised.
