URUMQI, May 16 (Xinhua) — Four advanced training course participants from the National Center for Tuberculosis Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan recently completed a month-long training at the Sixth People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwest China).
Thus, to date, 23 doctors from Central Asian countries have already been trained in the treatment of this disease in the above-mentioned medical institution.
Over the past month, medical trainees from Kazakhstan have held in-depth discussions on topics such as diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis and basic interventional bronchoscopy operations, and joined standardized training in complex surgeries and multidisciplinary consultations on difficult-to-treat diseases.
According to Yerbol Kopbayev, China is impressive in terms of standardized management of the treatment process in case of drug-resistant tuberculosis, the model of interdisciplinary cooperation and the use of advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment, especially the norms and standards for the treatment of complex cases, which provide new ideas.
At the graduation ceremony of the above-mentioned courses, the leaders of the Xinjiang hospital expressed hope that the medical trainees would provide higher quality medical services after mastering new skills and abilities.
As it became known, the above-mentioned Chinese medical institution will disseminate technologies for minimally invasive operations in the field of thoracic surgery in Central Asia, and will also continue to provide international remote medical consultations.
According to the survey data, Xinjiang remained one of the regions in China with a high incidence of tuberculosis from 1979 to 2010. Thanks to the efforts of local authorities, the incidence of tuberculosis in Xinjiang has significantly decreased, from 304.9 cases per 100,000 people in 2018 to 87.8 cases per 100,000 people in 2021.
