On May 24, 2024, the Department of Pediatrics and Medical Rehabilitation named after D.M. Tusupova, based at the University Hospital’s SMU conducted a health education session on the topic “Prevention of Food Allergies in Children.” The session was led by Assistant Professor Zhansulu Bektar S. and conducted by 7th-year interns from Group 710.
