Following the meeting, the parties agreed to continue constructive dialogue and joint efforts to develop proposals aimed at the sustainable development of the private healthcare sector in the republic.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic suspended the operations of 263 private clinics due to serious violations.
