A Celebration of Kindness and Care: Children’s New Year Party for Children Affected by HIV
On December 29, 2025, a New Year’s festive event—a children’s Christmas tree celebration for children affected by HIV—was held at the Almaty Regional AIDS Center. The event was organized by the Almaty Regional AIDS Center in cooperation with the non-governmental organizations Doverie Plus and I Choose Life. A bright and engaging holiday program was prepared for the children, including a New Year’s buffet, an animated show featuring superheroes, Ded Moroz (Father Frost) and Snegurochka, as well as fun games and entertainment. The celebration brought the children joy, laughter, and the feeling of a real New Year’s fairy tale. The children’s shining eyes and the warm atmosphere filled the hearts of parents with happiness as well, strengthening their faith in kindness, support, and care. A particularly special and touching moment was the fulfillment of the children’s wishes. In advance, the children wrote letters to Ded Moroz, sharing their most cherished dreams. Thanks to the support of partner donors, each child received exactly the gift they had dreamed of. This moment became a true miracle and evoked sincere emotions of happiness and gratitude. Such events are of special importance—not only do they create positive emotions for children, but they also remind society of the importance of social support, unity, and attentive care for families affected by HIV. The Almaty Regional AIDS Center expresses its sincere gratitude to its partners, donors, and everyone who took part in organizing the celebration. Through joint efforts, we continue to build a society based on humanity, acceptance, and care for the future of our children. more »

Training on Mandatory Social Health Insurance (OSMS): What Will Change in 2026
In 2026, new rules will come into effect in Kazakhstan's healthcare system. The changes will affect the Guaranteed Volume of Free Medical Care (GOBMP) and Mandatory Social Health Insurance (OSMS). A training seminar dedicated to this topic was held at the Akmola Regional Center for HIV Prevention. According to Deputy Chief Physician Saule Zhakanova, starting from January next year, Kazakhstan will begin the phased implementation of the Unified Medical Care Package, which will ensure: clear separation of GOBMP and OSMS with no duplication of services, increased accessibility of early disease prevention, expanded guarantees for the early detection of socially significant diseases, financial stability of the system through resource redistribution, and a move towards a full-fledged health insurance model. It should be noted that from January 2026, the GOBMP will include diagnostics for 11 socially significant diseases, including tuberculosis, chronic viral hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, mental and behavioral disorders, malignant neoplasms, acute myocardial infarction (first 6 months), rare diseases, epilepsy, strokes, and other severe conditions. We draw special attention to the fact that HIV diagnostics and treatment, as before, remain part of the GOBMP package and will be provided free of charge by the state. more »

The purpose of the visit was to assess the quality of anti-epidemic, preventive, and diagnostic measures related to HIV infection, as well as the provision of medical services to people living with HIV and representatives of key populations.
