At the meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh on February 25, Damirbek Osmonov, the acting Minister of Health, voiced concerns about staffing issues in medical institutions. He noted that there are 19,000 doctors in the republic, but in reality, only 13,500 are working.

According to him, attracting medical specialists to remote areas is a challenging task, as many prefer to stay in cities for the convenience of their families.

“To address this issue, we need to start attracting doctors while they are still in residency training. Specialists who complete their residency receive a diploma, but during their training, they work without pay while covering their own course fees. Their salaries need to be secured, and upon completion of their residency, they should be required to work in remote areas for one to two years,” Osmonov added.
