Fake Medical Certificates Scandal Rocks Kazakhstan's Capital

A shocking undercover investigation by the AntiLIPA civic campaign has exposed a clinic in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, that was selling fake medical certificates. The clinic, Ayana Clinic, was found to have no medical equipment, only printers, cash registers, and numerous fake stamps. An activist successfully purchased a fraudulent fluorography certificate using an image downloaded from the internet. This investigation follows a recent case in Aktobe where a nurse with active tuberculosis worked at a children's hospital, infecting over 700 children and 55 staff members. "They took the photo from the internet and printed it right away," said one activist, highlighting the ease of obtaining fake documents. This incident underscores the need for stricter oversight and raises concerns about public health and safety in Kazakhstan. The temporary closure of Ayana Clinic serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible medical practices.
