“The First President paid great attention to the development and implementation of technology and high intelligence. Technology is so embedded in our lives. The first artificial heart implanting surgery in the world and wireless energy transfer was performed Dec. 15, 2018, in Kazakhstan in our center. We went down in history as a country where this technology was first introduced into practice in medicine. I think that we will witness the development of artificial intelligence,” said Yuri Pya.

“The interaction of technology and medicine has already begun. We can now conduct in our center all the high-tech surgeries that are available to citizens in developed countries — Europe, the US, Canada, Southeast Asia,” said Yuri Pya.

Recall, Aug. 21, 2019, an expanded meeting of the Political Council of the Nur Otan party was held in Nur-Sultan with the participation of the First President of Kazakhstan – Elbasy Nursultan Nazarbayev and Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
