New digital solutions will enable
regulating the issues of guaranteeing the legality of medications as well as
monitoring the waiting list for kindergartens. These innovations have been
presented in the Kazakh government. The first digital system will not only
reduce the risk of shadow trade in medicines but also help effectively plan
their centralized procurement. Overall, through a unique Data Matrix Code which
will be applied to each medicine package, the platform allows online tracking
of the total turnover of medicines across the country from production to
utilization. In addition, Kazakh Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov was briefed on
the single database of the kindergarten waiting list. Thus, through the Egov.kz
portal or mobile applications of second-tier banks, parents can choose up to
four kindergartens to place their child on the waiting list. Then, parents will
also be able to track the status of their application online, and subsequently
enter into a contract. It is noteworthy that both services have been launched
in a pilot mode, and they will be fully operational in 2024.
