The Presidential Executive Office will develop plans for the short and medium term to address problems in the field of medicine. The President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov said at the nationwide meeting on social mobilization Zhany Kadam.
«As an urgent measure, starting from July 1, I instruct to increase the number of doctors from 200 to 500 as part of a program of additional incentives for medical specialists working in healthcare organizations in remote areas, small towns and rural areas,» he said.
In addition, the quarterly amount of the doctor’s deposit should be increased from 38,000 to 66,000 soms.

The head of state added that, given the acute shortage of specialists in the regions of the republic (except for Bishkek and Osh), he ordered, as an emergency measure, to introduce an additional monthly payment in the amount of 20,000 soms to pediatricians, neonatologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and resuscitators.
«Today we lack young doctors. We see a shortage of personnel not only in remote or high mountain areas, but also in regional centers. Therefore, I instructed to introduce special payments in the amount of 20,000 soms to attract and stimulate clinical residents and interns,» he said.
Sadyr Japarov emphasized that this is only a list of emergency measures. «As I have already said, the Presidential Executive Office is now working on medium- and long-term steps not only in the field of medical care, but also in other sectors,» the president concluded.
