Additional information:

The court in Almaty refused to satisfy the plaintiff — City Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital named after I. Zhekenova — in the claim for the protection of business reputation brought against blogger Nurali Aitelenov. The hospital appealed to the court in connection with critical posts Nurali Aitelenov published in the period from June 16 to 27, 2023, on Facebook, when he was undergoing inpatient treatment. The medical institution considers the information disseminated to be untrue.
