Trends in some indicators of the health of the population of the Kyrgyz Republic and neighboring Central Asian countries
Low level of state financing of healthcare is one of the reasons for the poor health of the population of the Kyrgyz Republic and neighboring countries of Central Asia. None of these countries approached the level of state financing of the health care system to 5-6% of the gross domestic product (GDP) needed to drastically reduce mortality from circulatory system diseases (BSC), infant and maternal mortality. The Kyrgyz Republic and neighboring Central Asian countries should revise their health care financing policy and gradually increase public health spending as a percentage of GDP and per capita in US dollars to realistically improve population health (increase life expectancy, reduce mortality from BSK, maternal and infant mortality).
