A meeting has been held with the Russian doctors with participation of Makhambet Dosmukhambetov, governor of Atyrau region, who spoke about the current COVID-19 situation in the region.
According to the governor, the regional hospital will provide 400 beds for COVID-19 patients as well as additional beds will be available in Kurmangazy district. He also said that the region's hospitals are fully provided with the necessary pharmaceuticals and equipment.
