During the meeting of the Committee of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic, which deals with labor, health, women's affairs, and social issues, the chairperson of the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund, A. Mukanova, presented information about actions aimed at protecting the rights of working citizens and their families within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The Mandatory Health Insurance Fund reported that the initiative to appeal to the EAEU Court was given by the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic and submitted through the Center for Judicial Representation under the Ministry of Justice. The appeal aims to clarify the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 98 of the EAEU Treaty dated May 29, 2014, concerning access to social security, including mandatory health insurance, for the families of workers from the member states of the Union.
Fund representatives emphasized that the Kyrgyz Republic actively and consistently fulfills its obligations within the EAEU. Family members of workers from Union countries who are legally present in Kyrgyzstan have access to medical services through the mandatory health insurance system, as stipulated in the State Guarantees Program.
The issue of access for family members of working citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic to the mandatory health insurance system in other EAEU states is regularly discussed by the Kyrgyz side within the framework of the Union's working bodies, intergovernmental commissions, and consultative platforms. The appeal to the EAEU Court is part of the ongoing dialogue in the integration process.
