| Contexto | Covid-19 hit badly the country’s development. Poverty increased from 21% to above 30% and GDP declined by 8.6% in 2020. The pandemic coupled with the political uncertainty has led to the change of country leadership and constitutional reform. The continuously carried out reforms in the Kyrgyz Health sector resulted in optimized number of hospitals and establishment of family medicine. The medical education system has been reformed to prepare family doctors with the support provided by SDC since 2013. The health system received well trained family doctors in 2020 after 8 years training. Regardless of reforms, the presence of educated and qualified doctors and nurses in the remote regions remains a major challenge. |
| Objetivos | Overall goal of the project is that Health professionals provide quality services, in particular at Primary Health Care level, to address the Kyrgyz population’s health needs. |
| Grupos destinarios | The ultimate target for this project is the Kyrgyz population who will benefit from receiving improved health services provided by qualified medical personnel. The direct beneficiaries are students of nursing colleges (estimated 7’000); practicing family doctors (1'700) and nurses (26’130); members of the Professional Medical Associations (19 associations with 7’601 members). |
| Efectos a medio plazo | Competent doctors and nurses increase the effectiveness of the health care system through strong and recognized associations who play a key role in the regulation of the professions. |
