About the course

The Almaty Endocrinology Forum 2026 brought together leading specialists from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, South Korea, India and other countries to discuss the current landscape of endocrinology, diabetology and metabolic medicine. Sona Academy digitised the most clinically relevant sessions of the two-day programme and organised them into a single multidisciplinary course covering type 1 and 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and their vascular, ophthalmic and neurological complications. The course includes an interview with Dr. Zhanay Akanov on the one-window multidisciplinary team and the digital diabetes agenda for Central Asia, and features Kazakhstan's first Patient Day — a live dialogue between patients and a panel of endocrinologists, vascular surgeons and ophthalmologists. All materials are non-promotional, contain no trade names and no patient personal data, and are available in closed access to verified medical professionals only.
