On December 1, Erkin Checheybaev was relieved of his duties as Minister of Health, a position he held since February 2025. Acting Minister of Health became Kanybek Dosmambetov, which surprised the public, as he previously held the position of head of the Main Department of the State National Security Committee in the Jalal-Abad region and had no relation to medicine. Daiyrbek Orunbekov, head of the information policy service of the president's office, stated that the appointment was made with the aim of implementing deep reforms in this area, where order had not been established before.

The editorial team of Kaktus.media decided to recall who held the position of Minister of Health of Kyrgyzstan over the past five years.

On February 5, 2025, the deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh supported the candidacy of Erkin Checheybaev for the post of Minister of Health.

In May, during a visit to the Republican Diagnostic Center, where employees of the Research Institute of Health and Medical Technology were transferred after a fire, President Sadyr Japarov publicly criticized the minister, noting that he "had stuck to his chair for two months." On the same day, Erkin Checheybaev was given a reprimand.

On December 1, 2025, he was removed from the post of Minister of Health.

The Ministry of Health is now headed by acting Kanybek Dosmambetov, a person who came from another field.
