generously sharing their experiences:
- They have already visited the Nur-Sultan city, where they have done a lot of work with specialists from the capital, have advised severe patients who are being treated in hospitals. The experience of China is worthy of great respect, because the doctors of this country were able to turn coronavirus infection into a controlled process. Doctors of the PRC achieved this by early detection of infected people, registration of all patients, early isolation and early treatment. These principles helped them to concentrate the pool of doctors, experts, hospitals and allowed them to use their resources efficiently, rationally.

They confirmed the correctness of all approaches regarding COVID-19 in Kazakhstan, including epidemiological surveillance, and recommended that important additions is to be made to the protocol regarding the treatment of severe, critical patients.During this week, Chinese experts will conduct on-line trainings for doctors and nurses on the prevention and control of COVID-19, share experience in treating seriously ill patients, measures to prevent the spread of infection in medical organizations, and methods for diagnosing coronovirus infection.
