«The development of e-health is one of the priority areas of the government’s developed program for the public health protection and the health system growth for 2019-2030 «Healthy People — Prosperous Country». The development of e-health improves the quality of medical services, reduces the workload of employees of medical organizations, and reduces the waiting time of patients,» Alymkadyr Beishenaliev said.

As part of the implementation of the first phase of the project from January 2018 to June 2022, 419 computers and 358 printers were purchased for the primary health care organizations of Issyk-Kul, Naryn, Talas and Chui regions, as well as two servers for the E-Health Center for the introduction of e-health.
