ALMATY. The first flight with medicines from Russia landed at Almaty International Airport, DailyNews.kz reports referring to the official Internet resource of the city.

The Almaty Akimat and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan have taken all measures to assist in the prompt delivery, registration and sale of these medicines.
According to the Committee for Quality Control and Safety of Goods and Services of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the certification of medicines and drugs is carried out by declaration within three days.

All these measures will make it possible to promptly supply and provide the city with medicines," reported Zangar Salimbayev, coordinator of the Almaty Akimat for providing the city with medicines.
