Kasem-Jomart Tokayev: "We also pay special attention to the modernization of the primary health care system. In this context, it is important to expand the powers of general practitioners and gradually increase the scope of funding for this system. I instruct the government, starting January 1 of next year, to raise the salary of the district service experts engaged in this field to 40 percent, in accordance with the continuous work experience. It will increase the income of more than 77 thousand specialists. In addition, we will continue to gradually raise the minimum wage. I instruct the government to raise the minimum wage from 85,000 to 100,000 tenge. This task must be carried out from January 1 of the following year. This will help increase the income of 1.8 million people, including more than 370,000 employees who receive wages from the budget."
