This funding complements the ongoing Primary Health Care Quality Improvement Program, which is jointly supported by the World Bank, the German Development Bank (KfW), and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).<\/p>\n It aims to bolster the healthcare system and ensure access to essential services for all citizens. Hugh Riddell, the World Bank Group Country Manager for the Kyrgyz Republic, emphasized that this additional financing will improve the quality and variety of primary health care, addressing crucial gaps in essential medical equipment, healthcare waste management, digital health solutions, and enhancing the skills of health workers.<\/p>\n The $11.45 million allocation will focus on two primary areas. Of this, $9.05 million is earmarked to enhance the diagnostic and clinical capacity of primary healthcare organizations. This includes providing essential diagnostic tools like electrocardiograms and X-ray units and improving waste management with medical waste processing equipment. These investments are expected to bolster maternal and child health services, as well as non-communicable disease care at the primary level, by addressing equipment and IT infrastructure gaps.<\/p>\n Additionally, $2.4 million will support the implementation of IT systems such as electronic medical records and the development of continuous professional development materials for health workers. This initiative will enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Health and expedite program implementation, promoting more effective and sustainable health outcomes.<\/p>\n The financing will be provided through grants from the Kyrgyz Republic Primary Health Care Quality Improvement Program Multi-Donor Trust Fund and the Accompanying Measures Single-Donor Trust Fund, funded by the German Government via KfW. The project will be managed by the Ministry of Health and the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund until June 2027, adhering to strict international standards in procurement and financial management, alongside anti-corruption measures.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
