New Delhi, November 07, 2024: UK-based SRAM & MRAM Group, in collaboration with Big B Corporation and KAZIND Medical Group of Kazakhstan, is set to develop the largest private healthcare platform in Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Kazakh Government has officially granted the group a long-term lease on the land following the completion of all formalities. This initiative not only seeks to transform Kazakhstan’s healthcare sector but also focuses on job creation and driving significant economic growth.

Earlier in the Year 2023, the Group and BIG B signed an MOU with the Kazakh Government to develop a state-of-the-art Medical University, a multi-specialty Hospital, and a 5-Star Hotel in the region.

With 243 hectares allotted in Astana and 100 hectares in Almaty, these projects will be trailblazing in Central Asia. The partnership aims to establish the largest medical university in the region, along with a multi-speciality hospital, offering world-class medical and paramedical education to the international students. The project also includes a 5-star hotel to boost tourism and provide world-class hospitality.

Spokesperson from Kazak Govt stated, “The Kazak Government is proud to support this transformative partnership with SRAM & MRAM Group, Big B Corporation, and KAZIND Medical Group.

We are excited about the positive change this collaboration will bring to the people of Kazakhstan”, quoted Dr. Sailesh Lachu Hiranandani, Chairman of SRAM & MRAM Group.

Medical education in Kazakhstan has seen significant growth over the past decade. Historically influenced by Soviet-era, discipline-based, and teacher-centered systems, the curriculum was largely traditional, relying heavily on lectures with minimal use of e-learning tools. Assessments were primarily conducted through oral exams and multiple-choice questions. While many universities continue to maintain a subject-based curriculum, there has been a gradual incorporation of integrated learning elements.
