Checheybaev spoke about the construction of a medical city in Bishkek - plans, timelines, and which clinics will relocate

A medical city is planned to be built in Bishkek, with the start date set for 2026. This was announced by Erkin Checheybaev, the Minister of Health of Kyrgyzstan, in an interview with the Kabar agency.

According to the minister, the ministry is currently exploring various financing options and analyzing proposals from potential investors. Checheybaev also dispelled public concerns regarding the complete relocation of all hospitals in the capital to the new medical city.

“Residents are worried about where they will receive medical care if all hospitals are moved. I want to emphasize: only 6-7 national-level institutions will relocate to the medical city. Other medical facilities will remain in their current locations. This includes the oncology center, the National Surgical Center, the first hospital on Fuchik Street, the second hospital on Zhantoshev Street, Children's Hospital No. 3, and the trauma hospital at City Hospital No. 4,” he explained.

Additionally, Checheybaev added that family medical centers and other institutions will also continue to operate in their current locations, ensuring access to medical care for the population of Bishkek.

“The new medical city will include several national institutions that should focus on the development of science and advanced medical technologies, as well as provide a clinical base for students of medical universities. It will provide tertiary care. Unfortunately, some of these institutions are currently forced to work with less complex cases. Our goal is to enhance their potential and restore their status as national centers,” the minister noted.

According to him, the medical city project is of great importance for the entire country, as it will treat patients with severe illnesses requiring highly qualified medical assistance.
