The event brought together delegates and experts from 15 countries, including the UK, Japan, Singapore, UAE and India. The APLAR-QCR Summit is considered as an important stage in Kazakhstan’s preparation for the global APLAR Congress in 2029.
The Summit is one of the leading international platforms bringing together young researchers, medical practitioners, specialists of various disciplines and world-class experts in the field of rheumatology.
The scientific program of the event was aimed at sharing modern knowledge, discussing advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment, as well as strengthening international professional cooperation.

According to experts, rheumatic diseases remain one of the pressing medical problems of our time. Currently, there are more than 100 types of rheumatic diseases in the world, which affect millions of people. In Kazakhstan, the number of patients with rheumatological pathologies continues to grow, which is associated, among other things, with an aging population and an increase in life expectancy.
The participation of specialists of the National Hospital in such international events contributes to improving the professional level, exchanging experience and introducing modern approaches to the provision of medical care to patients.
