Liver transplant operations will be free for Kyrgyz citizens starting in 2027.
The Ministry of Health prepared a decision on government funding for liver transplants from related donors through the High Technology Fund. Currently, such a procedure costs the patient's family about 17,000 dollars (about 1.5 million som), which is why many seriously ill patients are left with no chance of timely help.
Starting in 2027, all expenses planned for the purchase of drugs, consumables and post-operative care are planned to be covered by the budget. The surgeries will be performed by doctors from the Osh State University National Surgical Center and Clinic.
