1200 rural settlements were left without a medical organization or medical care. The rise in prices
for medicines made them inaccessible for a significant part of the population. The inequality of
opportunities also manifested itself in the availability of health care, depending on the economic,
official and
status position, geographical and rural-urban characteristics. Socio-economic
difficulties have led to a decrease in the number of people visiting medical institutions due to the
limited availability of medical care.
Third, the republic is faced with enormous environmental problems that have a significant
impact on the dynamics of diseases and the need for medical institutions. Acute shortage and
unsatisfactory water quality, the impact of former military training grounds, land degradation,
man-made desertification and much more negatively affect the health of the population of
Kazakhstan.
For the formation of a new health care system in the republic, a reform was carried out,
including legal, institutional and structural changes. The creation of a new public health
infrastructure provides for the formation of a
private sphere of medicine, while maintaining the
state-guaranteed volume of free medical care.
The health ca
re system is going through a difficult stage in its development; there are big
organizational, structural and financial problems. There is a decrease in the accessibility of the
population, especially the rural population, to primary health care. The following factors have a
negative impact on the health of the country's population:
decline in the standard of living of the majority of the population;
lack of healthy lifestyle skills among the majority of the population:
high
levels of alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, low level of sanitary and
hygienic skills;
irrational, unbalanced and often insufficient nutrition;
lack of iodine and iron in the diet;
limited access to safe water supplies, especially in rural areas.
The current stage of reforming the health care system in the Republic is characterized by
tasks aimed at improving the quality and availability of medical services for the population of
various social groups. In order to form an effective system for the provision
of medical services,
structural transformations are continuing aimed at strengthening primary health care, creating an
economically more efficient institution of family medicine, introducing modern approaches to
treating diseases based on WHO recommendations.
