Indeed, C3Medical Consulting is launching a new women’s imaging project, funded by the French Treasury and supported by the Astana Economic Service, whose objective is to improve the breast cancer screening process in Kazakhstan.
Last week, 11 radiologists and 6 technicians from Polyclinics 7 and 10 in the city of Astana and the reference oncology center in Kazakhstan, Kazior, attended high-quality training delivered by Forcomed on the modalities of breast cancer screening in France.
These training sessions were an opportunity to present how breast cancer screening works in France, to review the theoretical concepts related to screening, and to train on practical cases of mammogram readings for radiologists and patient manipulation for technicians.
Alma Zhylkaidarova, the head of Kazior’s strategy and radiology department, is “extremely motivated to change the way we screen for breast cancer in Kazakhstan following these trainings. We are already working on the overhaul of the breast cancer screening algorithm based on what we have learned during the trainings.”
The next steps in the project will be the deployment of two DMS Imaging | DMS Group, two Sonoscanner ultrasound scanners – Premium Ultrasound Scanners, Medecom acquisition and reading consoles in two polyclinics in the city of Astana as well as the deployment of the French artificial intelligence software Hera-MI in December.
Special thanks to Zamira Yensebayeva, Alexandra Thircuir Mens, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kazior, Bpifrance and the French Treasury for making this project possible.
