Healthcare in Kazakhstan
[4] Regarding the right to health among the adult population, the country achieves only 80.9% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[6] Kazakhstan's healthcare system, which remained entirely under state control in 2006, declined in the post-Soviet era because of insufficient funding and the loss of technical experts through emigration.Since 1991, health care has consistently lacked adequate government funding; in 2005 only 2.5% of gross domestic product went for that purpose.In 2006 an outbreak of juvenile HIV caused by improper hospital techniques gained national attention.Healthcare facilities are largely owned and operated by the public sector represented by the Ministry of Health.Hospice services for the terminally ill who are expected to live six months or less are most commonly subsidized by charities and government.National Medical Holding is an experimental health system located in capital city Nur-Sultan.
