Today, at a joint session of the chambers of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokaev delivered the Address to the people of Kazakhstan "Fair Kazakhstan: law and order, economic growth, public optimism."
In his opening remarks, the Head of State noted that during the past session, the Parliament adopted 102 laws, including laws on public control, combating human trafficking, science and technology policy, thermal power engineering and others. He emphasized that great attention was paid to social issues, especially the protection of children.
The new Address to the people was devoted to issues of investment policy, doing business, developing domestic industry, modernizing the energy and utilities sectors, fiscal policy, the country's human resources potential, etc.
Special attention was paid to health care issues.
Kassym-Jomart Tokaev reported that this year almost 3.3 trillion tenge of budget funds were allocated to the health care system. However, the return on such injections is still in question.
"We need to create a single package of basic state medical care, balanced in terms of budget capabilities and obligations. Anything beyond that should be paid for through the insurance system. Such major changes cannot be successfully implemented without digitalization," the Head of State said.
The President also noted that instead of several dozen currently operating disparate programs and databases, it is necessary to create a single state medical information system.
"It should ensure end-to-end control and objectivity of data for all healthcare organizations receiving government orders, regardless of their form of ownership. The government should immediately begin to address this urgent issue and report on the progress of work to me and the deputy corps," Kassym-Jomart Tokaev said.
