This gift is committed by the "AYALA" charity foundation and Halyk Bank in the framework of the republican "Breathe life" project. The project started in 2007 and within a few years, the "AYALA" foundation helped with medical equipment resuscitation department of children’s city clinical hospital for infectious diseases in Almaty and republican "Aksai" hospital. The project proves its effectiveness in that, for example, that in the infectious diseases hospital in the Almaty city, infant mortality decreased by 4 times (!).
The “AYALA” charity foundation completed a very ambitious project to help children's resuscitation departments of maternity homes and perinatal centers across the country this year. Vital equipment received all regional perinatal centers of Kazakhstan, as well as all maternity hospitals and perinatal center of Almaty. After completion of this project, it was decided to continue the "Breathe life" project.

Over the 6 years we are actively cooperating withvthe "AYALA" charity foundation and during that time rendered help on 60 million tenge. We understand the importance and significance of the assistance provided by the foundation to medical institutions, as each of them - the health of our children, young people of Kazakhstan. That's why we decided to support this project".
“When Berik Darzhanov, the head of the medical projects of the "AYALA" charity foundation, came and became interested in the needs of resuscitation department, I could hardly believe that the purchase and donation of this equipment in our hospital is not fiction. But today, I and all the staff of the resuscitation department were pleasantly surprised that the "AYALA" charity foundation kept its word. Many thanks to Halyk Bank and all the staff of the "AYALA" foundation”, - said Kair ABDRAKHMANOV, chief physician of the Akmola regional children’s hospital.
"Now, when after birth an illness is detected, a child does not leave in resuscitation department of a perinatal center, but transferred to a children's hospital. And if the children's resuscitation departments of maternity hospitals and perinatal centers are equipped with the necessary equipment to provide high-tech care to newborn babies, then in resuscitation departments of children's hospitals lacking such equipment and medical staff find them in tight situation. Doctors have experience and skills, but lack the tools for the treatment of the above patients. Therefore, the “AYALA” foundation considers this project, in fact, a continuation of the recently concluded republican "Breathe, baby" project - said vice-president of the "AYALA" charity foundation Zhangeldy SARSENOV.
