WHO Sees Measurable Progress in Kazakhstan's Health System
Ongoing progress in Kazakhstan's health system amid evolving global risks.
Kazakhstan is modernizing its health system with expanded partnership with the World Health Organization, focusing on strengthening prevention of communicable and noncommunicable diseases, pandemic preparedness, and embedding international public health standards into everyday medical practice. The country has achieved measurable progress, including being the first in Central Asia to reach the 2025 target for reducing premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases by 25%. Multi-sectoral measures such as laws restricting energy drinks and vapes for youth, and rapid decline in smoking prevalence, underscore systemic improvements and ongoing public health efforts.
