Kyrgyzstan and Turkiye consider resuming free medical treatment for Kyrgyz citizens in Turkiye

The Minister of Health of Kyrgyzstan, Erkin Checheybaev, met with the Ambassador of Turkiye to Kyrgyzstan, Mekin Mustafa Kemal Okem, at the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan.

According to the ministry, the meeting was dedicated to discussing priority areas of bilateral cooperation in the field of healthcare.

In particular, the parties discussed the resumption of sending Kyrgyz patients to medical facilities in Turkiye for treatment on a gratuitous basis under the 2014 Agreement between the two governments on healthcare and medical sciences.

The Kyrgyz side has expressed its readiness to update the application mechanism, decision-making deadlines, and the procedure for allocating quotas in order to improve its efficiency.

Special attention was paid to the continuation of cooperation in the field of transplantology. During the meeting, the importance of implementing the cooperation protocol in the field of transplantation, signed in November 2024, was noted. The protocol provides for the performance of operations at the R.T. Erdogan Kyrgyz-Turkish Friendship Hospital.

The possibility of continuing the practice of attracting Turkish specialists to the Osh region, where there is a high demand for transplant services, was also discussed.

The Minister expressed his gratitude for the previous support provided in organising the work of the Transplantation Centre at OshSU, where 16 specialists who have been trained in Turkiye are currently working.

"We highly appreciate the strategic partnership between Turkiye and Kyrgyzstan in the field of healthcare. All proposals from the Kyrgyz side will be carefully studied and submitted to the relevant agencies in Ankara. I am confident that our cooperation will continue to develop in the spirit of friendship and brotherhood," said Mekin Mustafa Kemal Okem.

"The partnership with Turkiye plays a significant role in the development of Kyrgyzstan's healthcare system. We are sincerely grateful for the long-standing support in both providing medical treatment to citizens and developing transplantation services. Today's meeting has confirmed our mutual interest in strengthening our cooperation and giving it new impetus," the Minister emphasised.
