Medical Project was launched by Saby Foundation in 2002. It has suffered substantial changes during this period. At the start of its implementation there was a complicated economical situation in the country and the medical institutions were in a very difficult state without adequate support on the state side. Then, the maintenance from the charitable foundations, in particular, Saby Foundation, was of inestimable strategic importance for us. Now, the situation has changed dramatically. Huge financial means are annually in-flowed into the medical cluster from the Central Government Budget, thus, providing the healthcare institutions with the latest high-technology equipment and instrumentation.
Under these conditions the importance of the private capital has transformed. At present the financial support on the side of foundations is required only in extreme cases, when this or that equipment for the medical institutes is in urgent need, but the complicated system of public procurement does not enable to purchase it within a short time.
Exactly, in such cases, Saby Foundation, within the frames of its Medical Project, considers the beneficiaries’ applications.

In 2013
Karakastek Infant Orphanage an air-warming drawer for medical instrumentation and utensils sterilization and disinfection, as well as sterilizing drums were donated by the Foundation;
Qyzylorda Infant Orphanage was donated an apparatus for physiotherapy treatment of children suffering the diseases of the nervous system, as well as а set of manual masseur were donated by the Foundation;
targeted social assistance – the multi-year sponsorship of Nikita, suffering ICP hard case, the food-stuff and necessary medicines were purchased for his family.

Project lasts for 11 years, covered 17 healthcare facilities in 8 Republic cities,
290 000 patients became the Project beneficiaries
