Neurosurgery education in Kazakhstan has 55 years of history. The first neurosurgery department was established in 1964 in the city of Almaty, South Kazakhstan (the former capital of Kazakhstan). The department was headed by the pioneer of Kazakhstani neurosurgeons, Prof. Yevgeniya Azarova. A new neurosurgery education system was adopted after a while. To date, 4 medical universities and 1 neurosurgical center in Kazakhstan have a neurosurgery department that prepares around 10 neurosurgeons annually. The country's populations are currently served by more than 300 neurosurgeons. However, isolated regions lack neurosurgical services and a specialized medical workforce. Urbanization results in inequality of receiving medical care among rural and regional inhabitants.To develop and strengthen the neurosurgery services, the National Center for Neurosurgery was opened in the heart of the country. The center has placed great importance on the development of neurosurgery and neurosurgical education in Kazakhstan. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies, European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, Asian Congress of Neurosurgeons, and International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery have held many international meaningful events on neurosurgery at the center. Opened in 2008, the neurosurgery center has prepared 41 neurosurgeons in the residency program. This article seeks to provide readers with an understanding of the state of neurosurgery education in Kazakhstan and its development history.
哈萨克斯坦的神经外科学教育已有 55 年的历史。1964 年，哈萨克斯坦南部城市阿拉木图（哈萨克斯坦前首都）成立了第一个神经外科系。该系由哈萨克斯坦神经外科先驱叶夫根尼娅·阿扎罗娃教授领导。不久之后，采用了新的神经外科学教育体系。迄今为止，哈萨克斯坦有 4 所医科大学和 1 个神经外科中心设有神经外科系，每年培养约 10 名神经外科医生。该国目前有 300 多名神经外科医生为民众服务。然而，一些偏远地区缺乏神经外科服务和专门的医疗人员。城市化导致农村和地区居民获得医疗保健的不平等。为了发展和加强神经外科服务，国家神经外科中心在该国中心地带成立。该中心高度重视神经外科和神经外科学教育在哈萨克斯坦的发展。世界神经外科学会联合会、欧洲神经外科学会协会、亚洲神经外科学会和国际小儿神经外科学会在该中心举办了许多关于神经外科的有意义的国际活动。该神经外科中心于 2008 年成立，已在住院医师培训计划中培养了 41 名神经外科医生。本文旨在使读者了解哈萨克斯坦神经外科学教育的现状及其发展历史。
