As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as a result of systemic measures taken by the Ministry of Health last year, the accounts payable of medical organizations in Kazakhstan at the end of 2024 decreased by 44%, and overdue debt by 19%.
In addition, the number of medical organizations with accounts payable decreased by 26% (from 762 to 561), which indicates positive changes in financial management in the medical sector.
Based on the results of the analysis, three main reasons for high debt were identified:
One of the key steps in 2024 was an increase in tariffs for 5 main medical profiles, which improved the volume and quality of medical care in the field of obstetrics and childhood.
The overall increase in tariffs amounted to 52%, and the amount of financing on an annual basis reached 20 billion tenge.
From January 1, 2025, tariffs for palliative care have been increased by 42%, and for rehabilitation care for children - by 20%.
In addition, in 2025, the additional need to increase tariffs for 9 profiles will amount to 84.2 billion tenge.
These measures have improved the financial sustainability of health care providers and ensured better quality care for patients.
