Modern
multidisciplinary institutions for almost 11,500 beds, including six university
clinics, 14 hospitals, 11 perinatal and three national centers, will be
provided to the regions of Kazakhstan within the first stage of the Healthcare
Infrastructure Development Concept. The second stage will involve the
modernization of 2,500 medical facilities through new construction, renovation,
and upgrading. Of these, 80 percent will be primary healthcare institutions.
Plans also include equipping healthcare facilities over a five-year period and
implementing a model to forecast the shortage of industry specialists. These
and other measures will reduce the deterioration of healthcare infrastructure
by one-third. Notably, the facilities’ equipment will reach at least 88
percent. The corresponding document outlining the principles and approaches for
the sector’s development until 2030 has been adopted by the Kazakh government.
«Only nine
medical institutions in Kazakhstan meet the Joint Commission International (JCI)
Accreditation Standards, including the National Scientific Cardiac Surgery
Center, the National Research Center for Maternal and Child Health, and others.
JCI accreditation signifies the highest level of healthcare quality that all
medical institutions should aspire to. Therefore, requirements of the JCI
international standard should be incorporated starting from the design stage of
key projects,» said Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
