In only 13 days, Kazakhstan has built a new hospital for patients infected with coronavirus in the capital Nur-Sultan, a feat comparable only to what China achieved earlier this year.
The hospital, assembled out of modular blocks using the technologies for constructing prefabricated buildings, is designed for 200 beds and equipped with modern equipment to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients. According to the authorities, the hospital complies with all the standards of the World Health Organisation.
The total area of the hospital is of 7,000 square metres and the funds for its construction – 5.5 billion tenge (€11.7 million) – were allocated from the national budget.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the new hospital, met with the hospital staff and examined the medical units and wards, equipped with all the necessary equipment for treating patients.
