New projects and digitalization: how healthcare in Kazakhstan will transform by 2025.

Reforms will be implemented in Kazakhstan's healthcare system: several projects that were previously launched in a pilot mode will now be accessible nationwide, according to Orda.kz, citing the government.

“As of today, over 35,000 women have taken advantage of this opportunity,” the department commented.

Additionally, for the first time in Kazakhstan, a project called “Fetal Medicine” is being implemented, aimed at the early diagnosis and treatment of fetal pathologies using minimally invasive procedures. Since the start of the project, 20 intrauterine operations have been performed.

Another significant change is the transition of several medical documents to electronic format. Starting from the new year, the following will be available in digital form:

sanitary books;
sick leave certificates;
medical certificates (including 075/u, 026/u, 073/u, and others);
child health passport;
certificates for obtaining permits for weapons and vehicle operation.

To facilitate this, the healthcare systems are being integrated with the eGov mobile application. Citizens will be able to submit documents to organizations directly through the app, saving time.

Informed consent or refusal of vaccination for children will also be processed electronically. In case of complications following immunization, doctors will be required to promptly submit an electronic notification and provide medical assistance.
