The Akmolinsk region's prosecutor's office has upheld the rights of cancer patients.

The Akmolinskaya regional prosecutor's office has conducted an analysis concerning the protection of the rights of citizens with disabilities, as reported by Bizmedia.kz.
Прокуратура Акмолинской области отстояла права людей, страдающих от онкологических заболеваний.

During an analysis concerning the protection of the rights of citizens with disabilities, the Akmolinskaya regional prosecutor's office identified violations affecting the rights of 109 cancer patients, specifically the failure to refer them for medical and social expertise to establish their disability group.

For instance, the attending physician did not initiate the process for determining disability, assessing the degree of loss of working capacity, and identifying the necessary social protection measures for a resident of Kokshetau, who has been registered with an oncologist since 2022.

Leaders of medical organizations have been held strictly accountable, and efforts are underway to determine the degree of disability for cancer patients.
