Linear accelerators can start working in the first quarter of 2020. The Minister of Health of Kyrgyzstan Cosmosbek Cholponbaev told at a press conference.
He recalled that a contract with supplier was signed in April. "Everything is on schedule. We indicated that we would purchase from manufacturers. This is a complex equipment; it is custom-fabricated. In total, we have purchased two linear accelerators," he said.
Cosmosbek Cholponbaev added that premises for their installation were prepared at the National and Osh Oncology Centers.
In addition, other high-tech equipment was purchased for the oncological service of the republic at the expense of the funds allocated by Centerra Gold.
