A friendly doctorWorld AIDS Day is celebrated on December 1. Today, the number of people living with HIV continues to grow worldwide. Among the reasons are insufficient prevention coverage, stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV (PLHIV), barriers to receiving services and the reluctance of PLHIV to seek medical help. Recent global studies confirm that people with HIV often avoid seeking help for fear of being judged and discriminated against in connection with a diagnosis or lifestyle - both in society as a whole and in the medical office. "Friendly doctors" in the field of HIV are the most important link in the chain of HIV responses. Hundreds of people owe their lives and health to each of them. One of them is Sayrankul Kasymbekova, Head of the Clinical Monitoring Department of the Kazakh Scientific Center for Dermatology and Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a doctor with more than 20 years of experience in the field of HIV infection. Her work and dedication inspire and give hope to many patients.
