The number of doctors in Kazakhstan who benefited from social support measures rose from 263 to 1,760 over two years. The state is expanding access to housing, relocation allowances and compensation for utility costs for medical workers.
A total of 263 doctors received support in 2023, 796 in 2024 and 1,760 in 2025. The number of recipients increased 6.7-fold.
The measures are primarily intended to attract and retain medical staff in the regions and improve public access to doctors.
More than 280,000 medical workers are employed in Kazakhstan’s healthcare system, including around 84,000 doctors and more than 196,000 mid-level medical specialists.
Medical education is also being improved. Legislative changes provide for stronger practical training for future doctors and the development of professional specialisation.
In 2026, criminal liability was strengthened for threats and violence against medical workers while they perform their professional duties.
The Ministry of Healthcare continues work to raise the professional status of medical workers, strengthen staffing capacity and create favourable working conditions for doctors in all regions of the country.
