In Kazakhstan, neurosurgeons use advanced techniques to treat brain diseases, something that also extends new surgical options to patients with brain tumours.
According to news platform UrduPoint, treatment with these advanced procedures are also covered by Kazakhstan’s Mandatory Social Health Insurance system, under the country’s healthcare policy.
One such procedure highlighted was a tumour embolization, a minimally invasive procedure designed to cut off the blood supply feeding a brain tumor, by inserting a thin catheter through a small puncture in the thigh.
Patients with smooth recoveries are typically discharged within four to five days.
