In Kyrgyzstan, it is now possible to undergo repeat medical and social expertise (MSEK) remotely based on submitted medical documents. This was announced by Rita Sukorova, an expert physician at the Republican Center for Medical and Social Expertise.

Who can undergo remote examination

According to the expert, certain categories of citizens are entitled to remote assessment. These include people living in hard-to-reach areas, as well as patients with serious mobility issues characterized by doctors as non-transportable.

Citizens undergoing medical treatment outside the country also belong to the category of persons entitled to the remote procedure.

Digitalization of the MSEK process

As reported by Elmar Eraliev, Deputy Director of the Republican Center for Medical and Social Expertise, the assessment system nationwide has been fully transitioned to a digital format. Medical institutions now submit documents to MSEK exclusively in electronic form.

Data regarding the establishment of disability is now automatically integrated into the Tunduk state system. According to the Ministry of Labor, these measures are designed to eliminate intermediaries, minimize the human factor, and reduce corruption risks.

"This has significantly simplified the work of experts. However, sometimes a diagnosis is not fully described or not all test results are provided. This complicates the process of assigning a disability group, requiring us to clarify information with doctors."

Despite automation, experts note that an incomplete medical data package or an insufficiently detailed diagnosis can slow down the process, requiring additional inquiries to attending physicians.
