March 17 is a day dedicated to promoting culture and national values. In this regard, the Department of Propaedeutics of Pediatrics on March 17 congratulated the Department of Pediatrics and Medical Rehabilitation named after D.M. Tusupova and prepared a souvenir basket as a tradition of “respecting guests”. One of the most famous traditions of the Kazakh people is hospitality. Waiting for guests, showing respect for them has a great place in Kazakh society. Hospitality is not only about feeding guests or welcoming them, it is a reflection of the formation of the Kazakh people as a nation and its cultural values.

Hospitality has become an important part of Kazakh everyday life. The door of every house is open to guests. The Kazakh proverb “When a guest comes, good luck comes” shows the depth of this tradition. When a guest arrives, the owners of the house must definitely set a table for him and try to please him. This tradition has not lost its significance today, and hospitality is still preserved among Kazakh families in modern times.
