Review of the program
- One of the first clinical laboratories was launched in the village of Borodulikha, East Kazakhstan region. The lab operates under the INVIVO franchise and will provide clinical diagnostic services to the population from Borodulikha and surrounding villages.
The lab was opened by Olga Skokova, who used to work as an accountant-cashier in an electrical goods store and has always dreamed of starting her own business. Olga’s sister told her about the franchise project, and they calculated the required amount and launched the process together.
Sustainable Rural Development Fund allocated 1,200,000 tenge, which was used by Olga to purchase the necessary equipment and furniture.Olga Skokovaс. Бородулиха, Бородулихинский район, Восточно-Казахстанская область
“I share the Fund’s idea of providing residents in the countryside with high-quality medical diagnostics. I look forward to the future with enthusiasm and plan to open a clinical lab in Semey” - Anna Prutnikova opened a laboratory room in the village of Ayet (Beyimbet Mailin district, Kostanay region).
The village is located 36 kilometers from Lisakovsk and 95 kilometers from Kostanay.
Before the laboratory was opened, residents of the district center and surrounding villages had to travel to laboratories in Rudny (40 km) or Kostanay (80 km).
Anna Prutnikova has been in business for a long time; over the last few years, she has been raising poultry for sale. Once she found out about grants for opening clinical labs, she became interested in a new line of business.
As a person with disabilities, Anna has encountered difficulties when taking medical tests, since she had to travel from the village of Ayet to the city of Rudny.
The Fund supported Anna's initiative to open a lab and issued a grant in the amount of 1.4 million tenge.Anna Prutnikovaс. Айет, район Бейимбета Майлина, Костанайская область
“Of course, the villagers are very happy. Without a grant from the Fund, we would not have opened a laboratory since the population is small and the payback period would be very long. Due to the grant, the payback period has been significantly reduced.” - In Ulan district of the East Kazakhstan region, the Fund supported Gaukhar Berikkozhaeva, who had long nurtured the idea of opening a diagnostic laboratory on a franchise basis. The woman received a grant in the amount of 1.5 million tenge for the purchase of furniture, machinery and equipment. Now the residents of Kasym Kaisenov village do not have to leave Ust-Kamenogorsk to take medical tests; they can get all necessary services at the local laboratory opened under the INVIVO franchise.
Gaukhar plans to expand the list of medical services for residents of the Kasym Kaisenov village.Gaukhar Berikkozhaevaпосёлок им. Касыма Касенова, Уланский район, Восточно-Казахстанская область - The village of Denisovka in the Kostanay region has more than 4 thousand inhabitants, and over 18 thousand people live in the Denisovsky district itself.
The villagers supported the initiative of Yeldos Mukhanbetov. Now they have their own laboratory, and they do not have to commute 170 km to Kostanay in order to take medical tests.
The laboratory under the KDL OLYMP franchise was opened in September 2021 and is already popular among residents of the district center and surrounding villages.
The project was supported by the Fund allocating a grant as part of a program to increase the availability of diagnostics for rural residents.Yeldos Mukhanbetovс. Денисовка, Денисовский район, Костанайская область
