Halyq Qurmeti Award 2020

The Halyk Charity Foundation has established a 220 million tenge prize for medical workers. The foundation thanked those who were on the front lines and protected the health and lives of our compatriots with their professionalism for their courage and selfless work.

The Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the Halyk Charitable Foundation, Dinara Kulibayeva, decided to establish the HALYQ QURMETI-2020 award in order to reward medical workers and organizations for outstanding professionalism in the field of medicine, as well as the greatest contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in Kazakhstan.

“Our doctors are real heroes who, despite the enormous workload, the risk of infection, the unknown nature of the virus and moral stress, continue to hold the line, fighting for the lives and health of Kazakhstanis. This is a real feat that deserves endless gratitude.”
