Kyrgyzstan Records Over 200 New Cases of Measles in 2025

At least 229 new cases of measles have been registered in Kyrgyzstan since the beginning of 2025, including 144 in Bishkek, according to the country's Ministry of Health.

The main reason for the increase in the incidence rate is low vaccination coverage, which reaches only 69 percent in the capital, while the required figure is up to 95 percent, The Caspian Post reports, citing Kyrgyz media.

At least 14,380 cases of measles were registered in the republic in 2024, and 5,700 cases of them were registered in Bishkek.

As part of the implementation of protocol instructions of the Cabinet of Ministers, a meeting of the visiting operational headquarters of the Ministry of Health was organized.
