Abstract
In this policy brief researched the experience of various countries of the world in making decisions about screening programs, as well as comprehensively analyzed the domestic experience in implementing screening programs.In Kazakhstan, the types of diseases for which it is necessary to introduce screening, as well as the rules for organizing screening, are determined by the decision of the leadership of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, based on consideration of the relevant departments and conclusion of specialized institutions. At the same time, the main attention is paid to the screening examinations themselves, and insufficient work is being done in the direction of scientific and methodological support for screening programs.The authors believe that it is necessary to develop evidence-based screening recommendations for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as to use international criteria in making decisions regarding the introduction of new screening programs. It is necessary to provide a methodological decision-making process, involving independent organizations for evaluating screening programs, the public, and all stakeholders
