Kazakhstan\u2019s<\/a> journey toward universal health coverage (UHC) has been shaped by its post-Soviet legacy of an underfunded, hospital-centric healthcare system and a range of structural challenges. In Towards attaining universal health coverage in Kazakhstan: Challenges and important next steps<\/em>, Haruna et al. examine the country\u2019s efforts to build an inclusive health system in line with the vision set out in the Alma Ata Declaration<\/a>. They highlight how Kazakhstan\u2019s low population density, limited rural health infrastructure, and human resource shortages continue to hinder equitable service delivery, particularly in underserved areas.<\/p>\n Despite implementing national reform strategies such as Salamatty Kazakhstan<\/em><\/a> and Kazakhstan 2050<\/em><\/a>, progress toward UHC remains uneven. The article underscores the need for stronger regulation of private healthcare, better protection against out-of-pocket expenses, and targeted rural investment. While Kazakhstan has achieved a 76% UHC index, the authors argue that strengthening primary healthcare, improving financing models, and addressing geographic disparities are essential next steps for sustainable and equitable health coverage.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kazakhstan\u2019s journey toward universal health coverage (UHC) has been shaped by its post-Soviet legacy of an underfunded, hospital-centric healthcare system and a range of structural challenges.
