•
Kazakhstan has experienced tremendous growth and rapid economic development, with a GDP growth rate of around 10% since 2000, the country is among the fastest-growing economies of the world and outpaces all other Central Asian States by far.
• Kazakhstan’s medical system is experiencing rapid development. This can be seen in significant investments in health infrastructure and hospitals, especially in Astana.
• There are many challenges to overcome as well as the opportunities that now exist in Kazakhstan to improve the healthcare system.
•
Despite a recent increase in public health expenditures, up to 2.7 percent
GDP, Kazakhstan’s healthcare is characterized by insufficient access to the latest technology and advances in clinical care.
•
Kazakhstan is considering the adoption of western models of healthcare management, education, clinical practice and medical research.
