OECD Reviews of Health Systems: Kazakhstan 2018
Kazakhstan has made significant economic progress over recent decades. Health has
risen on the policy agenda with a number of sector reforms introduced to modernise
the system and improve the health of the population. This review uses globally recognised
frameworks and indicators to evaluate Kazakhstan’s overall health system as well as
its primary care and hospital sectors. Data provided by Kazakhstan is used to benchmark
the various dimensions of performance with that of OECD countries. While the review
points to notable successes, Kazakhstan continues to face challenges to improve the
accessibility, equity, and efficiency of health services. To strengthen health system
performance, the report points to key actions that Kazakhstan should consider prioritising
in the coming years.
