Kazakhstan to build 70 new healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics

Kazakhstan plans to build 70 new healthcare facilities, including hospitals, polyclinics, perinatal centres and children's rehabilitation centres. Funding will come from the republican budget and the Infrastructure Development Fund, and some facilities are being built using assets returned to the state.

A modern polyclinic designed for 500 visits a day has recently opened in Taldykorgan. It houses a diagnostic laboratory and specialist offices and serves more than 60,000 residents. Medical staff say the new facility should ease the load on other clinics in districts where the population is growing rapidly.

In his Address to the People of Kazakhstan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev described the Narodnaya Stroika programme as the largest infrastructure project in the country's history. Deputy director Dauylet Zhakipbaev said financing is mainly set for 2027–2029 and all projects are expected to be completed by 2030. Murat Tulegenov of the Asset Return Service said about 177 billion tenge has been allocated to 190 healthcare facilities, with work finished at 169 of them.
