Damianni Murzagaliyev

Damianni Murzagaliyev is a 19-year-old resident of Almaty, Kazakhstan, who has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2015. He made headlines after losing his third group disability status following an examination by the medical-social expertise commission, which did not provide him with clear reasons for their decision. This loss resulted in the cessation of social benefits and state support that he relied on. Damianni has since appealed the commission's decision, highlighting systemic issues within the disability assessment process for individuals with diabetes in Kazakhstan.
