In this remote town in the mountainous Kyrgyz Republic, seeing a medical specialist can mean a five-hour journey to the capital. For many families, that distance is a barrier.
Gulzat, a former nurse, has seen the impact of delayed care — especially for diseases like breast cancer, where early detection can save lives.
Thanks in part to funds raised by Walk supporters, local hospitals now have essential equipment and access to telemedicine — so patients can be diagnosed and treated closer to home.
For Gulzat, this work is personal. Remote diagnosis once helped her son get the care he needed — and today, he’s studying to become a doctor.
