The leading pediatric orthopedist from Israel, Mark
Eidelman, visited our country for the third time and for the second time -
within the framework of the MUMKINDIK project of the “Zhuldyzai” corporate
foundation. During his visit, the well-known professor performed 11 complex
operations for young patients for free.
Surgical interventions became the basis of the
international master class “Surgical treatment of congenital hip dislocation in
children and adolescents” by Mark Eidelman for 28 Kazakhstan doctors from all
regions. During the 3 days of his stay in the capital, the Doctor of Medical
Sciences taught local aesculapians techniques and methods of unique operations
for the rarest diagnoses. Some cases, as the surgeon admitted, were difficult
for him.
“I am very glad that I had the opportunity to visit
Kazakhstan again. Unfortunately, there are many serious pathologies, and I make
every effort to help patients. Some operations were performed on children who
had already passed the first stage. I brought with me special equipment for
certain types of surgical interventions. I have no doubt that everything will
be fine,” the professor said.
Mark Eidelman, MD, Director of the Haiva Ruth
Hospital, Professor at the “Technion” University of Technology in Israel, ranks
third in the ranking of leading pediatric orthopedists in the world. “During
her 14 years of life, my daughter underwent 6 operations. She has a congenital
bilateral dislocation, has a disability. We arrived from Taraz, 4 operations on
the right leg and 2 on the left leg were done there. The next one was also
supposed to take place in our hometown, but the doctors sent us to Astana,
since the surgical intervention was complex and voluminous, it took place with
the advisory participation of a professor from Israel. Many thanks to the
doctor!” - said the mother of one of the patients.
The “Zhuldyzai” Corporate Foundation has been
implementing the MUMKINDIK mentoring program in the republic since 2004, and
only this year, thanks to its financing, 7 foreign doctors conducted master
classes in 4 regions of our country. Over the entire period of the project, 900
children were operated on and over 4 billion tenge of the state budget and
funds of parents of children with pathologies were saved.
The general and only partner of the project is the
construction holding BI Group.
