Kazakhstan builds over 500 healthcare facilities in rural areas

Over 500 medical facilities have been built across Kazakhstan as part of the national project “Modernization of Rural Healthcare.” Deputy Prime Minister Yermek Kosherbayev spoke about the work being done to enhance the accessibility and quality of medical services in the country. According to him, the construction of modern hospitals and the renovation of existing healthcare facilities are actively underway in the regions. These efforts have led to an annual decline in maternal and infant mortality rates, along with improved access to essential medicines for the population.

«Under the President’s directive for the national project “Modernization of Rural Healthcare,” construction of over 500 medical facilities has already been completed. By the end of the year, more than 140 additional rural outpatient clinics and medical stations are expected to be commissioned. During my visits to the regions, I personally reviewed the progress of these construction projects and assessed the availability of medical personnel. Overall, access to healthcare services in rural areas is steadily improving,» Kosherbayev said.
