The Premier praised the Ministry of Healthcare for performing 60 cardiac surgeries in 2013, but said it was not enough as more than 20 thousand patients were still on the wait list.

"In order to fix this problem, we need to create cardiac surgery centers in all regions. There are only ten analogous centers across Kazakhstan. The open heart surgeries should be performed at modernly equipped centers in every province of the country," Mr. Akhmetov said.
