The health system is a priority area in the country's development. After the collapse of the USSR, Kazakhstan became an independent country, but on its territory there was a medical industry left over from the Soviet period. However, over time, there have been significant changes in medicine associated with the development of technology and the restructuring of the entire industry.
Brief history
From 1991 to 2002, Kazakhstan had a replica of the Soviet healthcare system. However, 2002 was proclaimed the year of health in the country. At this time, structural changes began in the industry. For popular database example, in 2002, for the first time in the post-Soviet space, mandatory vaccination of newborns against hepatitis was introduced. Measures were also introduced for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular and oncological diseases.
In December 2009, the Government of Kazakhstan adopted a Code entitled "On the health of the people and the healthcare system". This document set the direction for the development of traditional medicine. The aim of implementing the adopted document was the availability of medical services to the majority of the population. It concerned high technologies and financial opportunities.

Currently (2022), around 80% of medical institutions are under state control. The majority of the population does not have problems accessing basic services related to the provision of basic medical care. Citizens who have additional funds have the opportunity to be treated in paid clinics. This branch occupies about 20% of all state medicine.
Medicine in Kazakhstan for foreigners
Any foreigner who is in Kazakhstan and needs urgent medical care will certainly receive it. This requirement is recorded in paragraph No. 1 of Article No. 7 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the legal status of foreigners". Therefore, any person, regardless of legal affiliation, will receive the necessary medical assistance if necessary.
