It will become easier for Kazakhstanis to check their MSHI status - what the Ministry of Health will change

Proposed Changes

The Ministry of Health has prepared amendments to the rules for providing the public service of informing citizens about their participation in the Mandatory Social Health Insurance (MSHI) system.

The service can be accessed electronically via the eGov.kz e-government portal.

This means citizens can check their insurance status and payment records at any convenient time without having to visit government offices in person..

Current Enrollment Numbers

According to the Ministry of Health, there are currently 17.5 million participants.

"The MSHI system provides insured citizens with access to a wide range of medical care, regardless of the amount of contributions paid or their social status," the ministry noted.

The list of services includes:

• preventative check-ups,
• consultative and diagnostic assistance,
• specialized medical care in outpatient, day-hospital, and inpatient settings,
• high-tech medical services,
• medical rehabilitation,
• provision of medicines under current legislation.
