The committee discussed issues related to pricing for services and works of the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, and Housing and Communal Services, as well as examined the problems of rising prices in the construction sector.
During the discussion, Deputy Kunduuzbek Suimanov raised the question of the criteria for selecting locations for the construction of social facilities and who makes decisions regarding their distribution across districts and regions.
In response to the question, Imanakun uulu reported that approximately 80 social facilities are currently being actively constructed in the Jalal-Abad region. The deputy confirmed that he was aware of this information and clarified why some standard hospitals are not being built, citing a lack of funding from the Ministry of Finance.
The Deputy Minister, in turn, asked if the deputy was claiming that the stated facilities are not being constructed at all. Suimanov clarified that he was referring to a specific hospital project in the village of Uch-Terek.
Imanakun uulu added that there are 680 facilities under construction across the country as a whole. The deputy noted that he took this information into account but again asked why the hospital in Uch-Terek is not being built according to the standard project. The Deputy Minister explained that no funds from the budget are allocated for this particular project.
Suimanov pointed out that the issue of building a hospital in Uch-Terek has been open for three years. “This hospital should have been built 40 years ago, but the issue is still unresolved. We constantly discuss social problems, but healthcare does not receive enough attention, and the issue of hospitals remains relevant,” the deputy expressed his opinion.
In response, Imanakun uulu agreed that the situation indeed requires attention. He reported that in 2024, the construction of 16 healthcare facilities was completed, and in 2025, 26. “It is important to remember that this is not only about the construction of buildings but also about equipping them with the necessary equipment. In 2026, we have been tasked with strengthening work specifically in the area of constructing medical institutions,” he added.
The Deputy Minister also noted that while previously the opening of 100 facilities a year was considered a significant achievement, the current volume of construction is such that many facilities are not being commissioned in time.
The deputy called for a focus on solving current problems rather than returning to past failures.
