In line with the president’s initiative to fund socially significant projects through returned assets, Kazakhstan has allocated KZT 4.6bn ($8.9mn) for the construction of a regional ambulance and emergency medical care station in Aktau. The new facility, designed to handle 100,000 trips annually, will be situated in the 34A microdistrict on a 2.6-hectare plot of land.

The project includes a comprehensive set of amenities, such as a training and simulation center and a repair and washing base for ambulances. The total project cost is estimated at KZT 4.8bn ($9.3mn), with KZT 100mn ($193,064) contributed from the local budget. Excavation work and the installation of internal utility networks have already been completed, bringing the facility’s construction progress to 10%. Funding from the Special State Fund will ensure the project is finished on schedule.

Aktau, home to a population of 200,000, has seen rapid growth, with 10 new micro districts built in the past seven years. The new ambulance station will significantly improve access to high-quality medical services for the growing population, ensuring timely and efficient emergency care.

This project is part of a broader initiative, with the Government allocating approximately KZT 55.2bn ($106.6mn) from the Special State Fund for various socially significant infrastructure projects. 

These include the construction of four schools, including one music school, two sports complexes, a multifunctional hospital complex, a dormitory, and two kindergartens. Additionally, several social infrastructure projects are underway in Arkalyk, Astana, and Almaty, funded by the return of illegally acquired assets.
