In the Kyrgyz Republic, the procurement of medications is planned to be carried out using UN mechanisms. The press service of the Ministry of Health reported that starting from 2026, the state enterprise "Kyrgyzpharmacia" will conduct centralized procurement of medicines and medical devices based on an approved list from the Ministry of Health. This year, part of the procurement will be carried out through the mechanisms of UN organizations.

According to the department, the acquisition includes about 30 names of medicines and medical devices, with direct access to manufacturers. This scheme aims to eliminate intermediaries, ensure that products meet international quality standards, including WHO prequalification, and to form competitive prices through participation in global procurement.

Currently, preparations are underway to conclude the necessary agreements. Preliminary estimates suggest that the implementation of this model will save approximately 410 million soms compared to the previous year.

As noted by the Ministry of Health, the procurement policy for 2026 will focus on reducing prices for medicines, ensuring their quality and reliability of supply, as well as increasing the efficiency of public spending.
