According to MP Sultanbai Aijigitov at the plenary session of Parliament on June 22, migrant laborers in Russia paid $35,000 for an X-ray machine for the residents of Samarkandek, which is in the Batken district of Kyrgyzstan. The donation was a gesture of goodwill, and the X-Ray machine will be used to treat residents in a nearby neighborhood in the district for accurate medical diagnosis.
The MP said equipment worth 1 million som needs to be purchased to support the proper operation of the X-ray machine. According to MP Aijigitov, the launch of X-ray machines and backing for similar projects are both necessary because this is not a business.
