In a landmark move towards advanced medical care, Kyrgyzstan is set to embark on liver transplantation surgeries, a significant milestone for the country’s healthcare system. The announcement came from Minister of Health Alymkadyr Beyshenaliev during his visit to the Osh State University Clinic, where preparations are underway for the inaugural liver transplant operation.

Collaborating with medical experts from the prestigious Turgut Ozal Hospital of İnönü University in Turkey, Kyrgyzstan is poised to offer life-saving liver transplant procedures to its citizens. This partnership underscores a commitment to international cooperation in advancing medical practices and ensuring access to cutting-edge treatments.

“With each passing year, the number of citizens in Kyrgyzstan in need of organ replacement surgery is increasing,” Minister Beyshenaliev remarked, emphasizing the growing demand for specialized medical interventions within the country. The decision to introduce liver transplantation reflects a proactive approach by the Kyrgyz government to address the evolving healthcare needs of its population.

The journey towards establishing liver transplantation capabilities has been a collaborative effort, with support from both domestic and international stakeholders. President Sadyr Japarov’s discussions with the President of Turkey paved the way for training programs and technical assistance, laying the foundation for this initiative.

During his visit to Osh State University, Minister Alymkadyr Beyshenaliev inspected the state-of-the-art facilities being prepared for liver transplant surgeries. From advanced laboratory infrastructure to specialized treatment units, the Osh State University Clinic is gearing up to become a hub for complex medical procedures in the region.
