Scientific directions of the department.
Focus on Rare Diseases
In accordance with Presidential Decree No. 4440, dated September 7, 2019, "On Measures to Further Improve Medical and Social Care for Children with Rare (Orphan) and Other Hereditary-Genetic Diseases," the department performs diagnostics for patients suspected of cystic fibrosis. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, appropriate therapy is provided. The department’s specialists are responsible for ensuring timely provision of specialized nutrition for patients with cystic fibrosis.
Innovation and Science
In 2024, as part of the Applied Grant from the Agency for Innovative Development, researchers of the Gastroenterology Department, led by Professor Kamilova A.T., developed the “Gluten&Me” mobile application, available for download on both iOS and Android platforms.
“Gluten&Me” is a modern digital tool designed for specialists and patients with gluten-related disorders. The app provides:
• Information on symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of celiac disease, wheat/gluten allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity;
• Useful resources and guidelines;
• Gluten-free recipes for healthy eating.
