The number of children with diabetes in Kyrgyzstan is growing: in 2024 alone, more than 1,200 young patients, including children under five, were under observation. The Ministry of Health’s press center reported.
According to the ministry, this highlights the need for continuous improvement of medical care and the introduction of modern technologies.
As part of the development of its pediatric endocrinology service, the National Center for Maternal and Child Welfare is actively implementing modern diabetes management methods.
