Progress Reported for Kyrgyz National Health Reforms
Directors of health facilities, vice-governors from oblasts, and international donor representatives gathered in September for the second biannual Health Summit to review the progress of Kyrgyz health reforms and discuss plans for 2007. The event was hosted by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Participants reported that reform is becoming an integral part of the routine operations of the Ministry of Health and noted excellent health sector budget execution.
USAID has worked with the Kyrgyz Ministry of Health since 1995 to create an efficient, high-quality health system, first through pilot demonstration projects, and then in support of the Kyrgyz health reform plan. USAID’s ZdravPlus project provided technical assistance in the development of the “Manas Taalimi” strategy and assisted with costing and prioritizing activities. “Manas Taalimi” will institutionalize and increase the long-term sustainability of the successful Kyrgyz health reforms, and represents a complete incorporation of USAID’s health reform recommendations into the national strategy.
