In April 2021, the government of our country approved a resolution on the establishment of a Fund to promote the recovery of people suffering from oncohematological and incurable diseases.
According to the resolution, the funds will be used to purchase equipment, medicine, medical devices and laboratory reagents. In addition, the fund will ensure the involvement of highly qualified foreign specialists for complex operations on oncological patients.
