According to the director of the institute, Jalil Shayshenov, the organization plans to resume its activities within the next ten days. Despite the difficulties encountered, the institution continued its work. From January 22 to February 20, the institute performed 52 open-heart surgeries and 56 procedures in the angiography department. The number of outreach consultations has increased — medical specialists visited 16 maternity hospitals, perinatal centers, and inpatient facilities.

Modern treatment methods are also being actively implemented at the institute. For example, in the past month, five surgeries were performed using a minimally invasive technique — mini-thoracotomy. Specialists conduct surgeries based on life indications for patients with serious cardiovascular diseases, including newborns.

In addition, regular computed tomography for complex congenital heart defects has been organized at the institution, temporarily taking place at the National Center for Cardiology and Therapy on Saturdays. A new echocardiography machine has also been acquired, which has strengthened the diagnostic service and optimized the work of the consultative and diagnostic department, helping to reduce waiting times, especially for children with congenital heart defects.

After returning to the main building, the institute plans to increase the volume of high-tech cardiac surgical assistance, improve the accessibility of consultations, and strengthen its human resources.
