Nazym Kurmankulova

Nazym Kurmankulova is a general practitioner at a city polyclinic in Astana, Kazakhstan. She recently gained attention for her comments on the rising cases of influenza and respiratory infections, particularly among children, as the city experiences a surge in illnesses attributed to the Hong Kong flu strain. Kurmankulova noted that her clinic is overwhelmed with patients, treating up to 40 individuals a day, significantly more than the usual capacity. Her insights reflect the broader public health concerns in Kazakhstan as the Ministry of Health reports an increase in flu cases.
