The first National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) in the Kyrgyz Republic for 2024–2030 developed.

Bishkek, KYRGYZSTAN - Today, the National Action Plan 2030 for Health Security in the Kyrgyz Republic is presented in Kyrgyzstan. The Plan is the first of its kind and was drafted with the guidance of the World Health Organization.

This plan was developed by national and international experts and representatives of different ministries and departments after the Joint External Evaluation of Core Capacities under the International Health Regulations (IHR) in July 2023.

This plan provides a clear roadmap, outlining a specific list of activities to be implemented and the steps and resources needed to achieve health security goals.

This level of detail ensures that our approach is rather practical as well as strategic, and will ensure the highest level of preparedness to manage any potential health crisis in the country, while also serving as a platform for donor coordination and resource mobilization.

"We are at a significant stage on our way to a healthier and safer future for the Kyrgyz Republic. This collective work and partnership is an example of how joint efforts can lead to significant achievements in the field of health. We are proud of our achievements and are confident that our cooperation will continue to contribute to strengthening the safety and health of all citizens," said Bybyjan Arykbayeva, Deputy Minister of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Dr. Liviu Vedrasco, WHO Representative in the Kyrgyz Republic, emphasized the importance of this Plan: “This Plan is a great joint effort that embodies cooperation, transparency, and a clear vision for the future of health in Kyrgyzstan. This is a testament to our dedication to ensuring the well-being of the citizens of Kyrgyzstan and a sustainable healthcare system for all.”
