A new medical initiative, the Umut program, will launch in Bishkek and the Chui region in 2027. Its primary goal is the early detection of potential developmental abnormalities in children before birth.
How the screening will work
Under the program, pregnant women will undergo two screenings. If suspicions of pathologies arise during these checks, women will be referred for additional medical examinations. This will allow doctors to provide necessary assistance in a timely manner and identify health issues in the unborn child at the initial stages.
11–12weeks of pregnancy
18–20weeks of pregnancy
Development plans
In the first stage, the project will be implemented only in the capital and the Chui region. In the future, there are plans to scale the Umut program across the entire territory of the republic.
