Medical Check-Ups for Children in Uch-Terek and Bel-Aldy Aiyl Aimaks of Toktogul District
In remote villages, access to specialized medical services is often limited: to undergo an ultrasound examination, parents have to cover transportation costs to travel to the district center themselves or travel to Bishkek, incurring additional expenses for transport and accommodation.
Free mobile medical check-ups provided by Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic help reduce significant financial and logistical barriers for families. A powerful example of the project's real impact is the case of a child from Sary-Sogot village: doctors timely detected acute hepatic echinococcosis with a large liver cyst, which posed a life-threatening risk. The family was immediately advised to seek urgent specialized treatment and travelled to Bishkek for emergency surgical care.
Interview with a medical check-up participant:
Elnura Anarbekova, a resident of Sary-Sogot village:
"We have been collaborating with Good Neighbors for several years. Taking children for a medical examination somewhere far away — to Bishkek or even to the district center — often proves difficult for various reasons. We express our deep gratitude to Good Neighbors for bringing special equipment directly to our village and providing the opportunity to examine our young children and monitor their health. I believe that preventive medical check-ups are extremely important: we might not notice the symptoms of certain diseases in time, and if left untreated, it can lead to tragic consequences. Such examinations help us take care of our children's health, monitor it in advance, and prevent various diseases!"

Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic continues to work on the "Good Mama 2024" project. The main objective of the project is to familiarize medical workers and the CHWs (Community Health Workers) employees with the prenatal and postnatal pregnancy process, as well as to consolidate their knowledge of how to properly care for a developing fetus and maintain the health of the mother.
As part of the project, trainings were held for medical workers and the 80 CHWs representatives in 4 regions. After the trainings, CHWs representatives, in coordination with the medical workers, held preventive talks with pregnant women and invited them to regular check-ups. As part of the project, in early August, monitoring of the 18 CHWs work was conducted, during which pregnant women participating in the project were examined and informed.
The main goal of monitoring pregnant women in the regions is to identify possible dangers to the child’s and mother's health and their timely treatment.
