At a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh, Health Minister Kanibek Dosmambetov reported serious problems with the supply of essential medications, which should be provided by the state enterprise "Kyrgyzpharmacy." He emphasized that the company has failed to fulfill its responsibilities.

According to him, the effectiveness of the enterprise's operations in 2024-2025 was extremely low, and actual medication deliveries were not completed by 40 percent.

“We have completely replaced the management, got rid of ineffective managers and corrupt schemes. Medications have been ordered that were supposed to arrive as early as 2025. At the end of December, we held a commission and took urgent measures. The first batch has already arrived this week and is currently undergoing registration. Medicines for cancer patients and newborns are already being delivered to hospitals,” the minister noted.

He also added that in the next two months, medical institutions will be provided with all necessary medications.

Earlier, the minister mentioned the crisis situation in "Kyrgyzpharmacy," pointing to internal management problems such as weak management, conflicts of interest, and the involvement of previous leaders in dubious schemes with pharmaceutical companies.
