were signed during the fifth meeting of the Health Ministers of the OTS member
states in Astana. At the initiative of the Kazakh side, an action plan for
2025-2026 was also developed. Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov held a meeting
with the ministers and Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe. The
parties emphasized the importance of the cooperation agreement for 2025-2030 between

«By the end of 2024, investments in Kazakhstan’s
healthcare sector increased by 8.4%, reaching about $920 million, with
one-third coming from the private sector. The World Health Organization has
provided significant support in our efforts. As a result of systematic joint
work, including through technical and expert assistance, there has been a
reduction in the incidence of respiratory and circulatory system diseases, as
well as in mortality rates,» Bektenov noted.
