During a meeting with residents of Alamudun district, President Sadyr Japarov discussed the problems faced by patients receiving hemodialysis. In particular, the difficulty of obtaining referrals to see a nephrologist and of undergoing treatment procedures on time was noted.

Financial support and accessibility of treatment

According to the president, the state allocates about 15 thousand dollars annually for each patient receiving hemodialysis. Previously, when a procedure cost up to 100 dollars, the service is now provided entirely at the state's expense.

Prospects for kidney transplantation

Sadyr Japarov also said that conditions for performing kidney transplant surgeries have been created in Kyrgyzstan. Patients with a donor can now undergo surgery free of charge at medical institutions in the country. About 8 thousand dollars is required for the necessary materials and other expenses.

If we can transplant kidneys for all patients and free them from the need to undergo hemodialysis, the state will save 15 thousand dollars annually on each person. Therefore, we are considering the possibility of the state also covering the costs of the surgeries. I will take this issue under my personal control
