Demands for increased social support
The families affected by the 2007 medical incident in Osh are requesting an increase in their monthly social assistance and access to state mortgage programs for housing. Deputy Nilufar Alimzhanova, a member of the Jogorku Kenesh VIII convocation, reported that residents of the Nookat district—the parents of the infected children—approached her with these requests.
Monthly benefit request
Deputy Taalaibek Sarybashov also addressed the parliament regarding the mothers of the victims. He noted that although the children have now grown up, their lives and destinies have been severely impacted by the infection. Sarybashov urged the relevant authorities to consider providing these families with housing through state mortgage programs.
Context
The request concerns the aftermath of the 2007 mass HIV infection at the Osh Regional Hospital. The affected families, primarily from the Nookat district, continue to seek long-term social and residential stability.
