Kazakhstan Modernizes Healthcare Using Recovered State Assets

Kazakhstan is accelerating the modernization of its healthcare system as part of the president’s directives to strengthen social infrastructure, using funds returned from assets illegally transferred abroad.

As part of this effort, the Special State Fund has allocated 1.3 billion tenge to complete the overhaul of the Tayynsha Multidisciplinary Interregional Hospital in the North Kazakhstan region, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

The project includes upgrading engineering networks and technical equipment, as well as creating specialized facilities for MRI equipment and a modern clinical diagnostic laboratory, allowing advanced medical tests to be conducted directly at the district hospital.

The renovation also envisages the establishment of a new emergency department based on international triage standards. Under the project, resuscitation beds will be positioned for unrestricted staff access, enabling rapid monitoring and improving the quality and effectiveness of emergency care.

According to the Ministry of Finance, a total of 482 billion tenge has been allocated from the Special State Fund for the development of more than 400 social and communal facilities, including 183 healthcare institutions. Many of these initiatives are part of the Rural Healthcare Modernization Program, which focuses on building and renovating primary care facilities, multi-profile hospitals, specialized centers, and emergency infrastructure.

Earlier, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed amendments to the law on the return of illegally acquired assets, reinforcing the state’s commitment to redirecting recovered funds toward socially significant projects.
