Head of the Department for Organizing Medical Care and Drug Policy, Nurgul Ibraeva, said at a meeting of Ata Jurt Kyrgyzstan faction that 70 percent of maternal mortality cases occur among women who were in labor migration.
According to her, some women register late and do not follow doctors’ recommendations. The Ministry of Health is trying to improve the skills of employees.
Deputy Aibek Matkerimov responded that representatives of the Ministry of Health were called to Parliament not to make excuses.
«Tell about the lack of personnel and equipment, about the poor condition at maternity hospitals. Why are you making excuses? You are shifting the responsibility onto the people. They are leaving for work not because of a good life. It doesn’t matter whether they are migrants or citizens of another country, we are obliged to monitor their health,» he said.
