At the meeting of the Collegium of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Edil Baisalov, the achievements of 2025 and priority tasks for 2026 were discussed. This was reported by the Cabinet of Ministers of the KR.
The meeting was attended by Minister of Health Kanaybek Dosmanbetov, deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh, as well as heads of healthcare institutions and the Ministry of Health.
Edil Baisalov noted that the real effectiveness of the healthcare system is measured by what patients feel. "We are not evaluated by reports, but by whether there is access to doctors and medicines, and whether the equipment is functioning," he emphasized.
In 2025, the implementation of the state program "Healthy Person - Prosperous Country" continued, as well as activities within the framework of the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 3. The budget of the Ministry of Health this year amounted to 52.4 billion soms, and it is expected to grow to at least 130 billion soms by 2030.
Among the main achievements of 2025 are the construction and major repairs of medical institutions, modernization of infrastructure, procurement of equipment, development of digital services, and the implementation of the medical town project in Bishkek according to the president's decree.
During the meeting, key areas requiring attention in 2026 were also identified, such as improving maternal and child health, increasing the efficiency of hospitals, accounting for and utilizing medical equipment, and ensuring uninterrupted supplies of medicines.
"The shortage of medications is a sign of management inefficiency. In 2026, we must achieve zero tolerance for disruptions in supplies, especially for life-saving medications," added Edil Baisalov.
As a result of the discussions, priorities for 2026 were identified, aimed at improving the quality, accessibility, and safety of medical services, as well as strengthening discipline and accountability among leaders.
