Purpose of the study. To analyse the state and accessibility of palliative care in the Turkestan region.
Material and methods. Analysis of various areas of palliative care for cancer patients, taking into account the activities of outpatient medical organizations, inpatient services, as well as the activities of mobile teams.
Results. The article analyses palliative care activities for cancer patients in the districts/cities of the Turkestan region in 2025, in comparison with previous years, as well as the work of mobile teams to provide palliative care at home to cancer patients.
Discussion. The incidence of oncopathology is increasing worldwide, including in Kazakhstan. As a result, the number of people in need of palliative care is increasing. In the Turkestan region in 2024, in the first half of the year, the number of seriously ill patients in need of palliative care totaled 150. In the first 9 months of 2025, the mobile team conducted 5854 visits to serve 212 severe cancer patients.
