The Kazakhstani government has revised the Healthcare Development Concept until 2026, aiming to improve various health indicators by the specified year. The new targets include increasing life expectancy to 75.1 years, promoting a healthy lifestyle among 45% of citizens, enhancing satisfaction with medical services to 81%, reducing maternal and infant mortality rates, ensuring reliability of laboratory tests, and more.
Additionally, an Action Plan has been devised to implement the concept, focusing on revising quality standards, introducing modern screening and treatment methods for diabetes care, allocating quotas for assisted reproduction, enhancing youth health centers, conducting substance abuse research, launching an e-health platform, and expanding medical education grants. The plan also involves constructing modern hospitals and research centers in several cities through public-private partnerships.
The resolution is effective immediately, following its signing. The government's healthcare principles prioritize preventive care, social orientation, equal access to safe and quality medical services, support for domestic pharmaceuticals and medical science, availability of medications, medical devices, and epidemiological well-being, and ensuring sustainability and manageability of the healthcare system.
