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!"

In July 2024, Women’s Community Aiym, with the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, organized Summer camp on the Issyk-Kul lake cost for persons with disabilities (PwDs).
13 participants of the camp spent three sunny unforgivable days in Solemar recreation center, which provided opportunity for persons with disabilities to have a quality rest free of charge. Staying in this center was especially comfortable for the participants, as its area is adapted for PwDs: has traps on the center area and easy access to the beach.
During these three days, participants were enjoying the beauty of the lake, communicating, sharing their success stories, motivating and inspiring each other. Participants returned to Bishkek with great impression, renewed and encouraged to overcome the new challenges.
This event also happened thanks to the support of “Red Petroleum” gas station network!

On 22 June 2024, Women’s Community Ayim, with the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized a trip to the mountains of Issyk-Ata district for persons with disabilities.
Participants have a number of difficulties in using transportation in the city and individual residential buildings do not allow our beneficiaries to go out freely due to the lack of the necessary infrastructure.
But on this day, the guys spent an unforgettable day outdoors, enjoying the nature of our country.
This trip also happened thanks to the sponsors: International Charity Organization United Arab Emirates – Ajman and Alfa and “Red Petroleum” gas station network!
