Dear residents of Almaty!
The Almaty branch of the National Center of Expertise hereby informs that a PCR laboratory donated by the Bolat Utemuratov’s Foundation for coronavirus infection testing operates in the pavilion of the Atakent Exhibition Complex.

All tests will be carried out free of charge for the following categories of citizens, including unemployed, members of low-income families, large families, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable social groups within the framework of the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Republic of Kazakhstan:
- patients for planned and emergency hospitalization;
- persons newly delivered to medical and social institutions; institutions of the penal correction system;
- pregnant women and newborns according to clinical protocols;
- patients on hemodialysis;
- persons delivered to institutions of the penal correction system;
- medical professional with increased risk of COVID-19 infection ;

Sampling for COVID-19 is carried out by a network of outpatient clinics, hospitals and ambulances. Thus, sampling will not be carried out in the laboratory itself.
Test results will be sent directly to the Department of Goods and Services Quality and Safety Control of Almaty, as well as to the agencies that sent samples for testing, in electronic format and, if necessary, in hard copy.
In case of detecting the coronavirus infection, all necessary measures will be carried out in accordance with the current Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
