At a meeting of the parliamentary committee on labor, health, women's affairs, and social issues, Azamat Mukhanov, chairman of the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund, reported on the Ministry of Health's proposal to change the age limit for children to receive free health insurance to 18 years. This change was discussed in the context of the draft law "On Health Insurance for Citizens."

According to Mukhanov, previously this insurance was only applicable to children up to 16 years old. The new amendments aim to adapt the law to modern conditions.

“The document states that the insurance will be valid until the completion of education, that is, until 18 years old. Currently, funds are already allocated, and all children's rights to insurance are preserved,” he added.

The Fund's chairman also noted that the implementation of the law will not require additional financial investments.
