Material and Technical Equipment of Healthcare Organizations in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The aim of the study: to conduct a comparative assessment of the equipment of medical organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan with medical technology for the timely provision of medical care under the Mandatory Social Health Insurance and the Guaranteed volume of free medical care for 5 months of 2020 and 2021 at the level of outpatient and inpatient care.Methods. The paper analyzed data from 7,725 public health facilities in Kazakhstan (747 hospital facilities and 6,978 outpatient and polyclinic facilities) providing medical services. Results. For 5 months 2021 the level of medical technique equipment across the Republic of Kazakhstan in the context of regions has increased by 2,9%. The level of depreciation of medical equipment decreased by 1.6%. The level of depreciation of medical equipment at the city and rural level for 5 months of 2021 was almost the same – 58.75% and 56.47%, respectively.Conclusions. In general, the level of medical equipment equipment has increased compared to the data for 5 months of 2020. However, there is a discrepancy between the data from the medical equipment management information system and the actual data provided by the regions, which makes it difficult to assess the existing real picture of the equipment of medical institutions in the country. In this regard, it is necessary to create systems to standardize and regulate the selection, procurement, use and management of these tools at the country level
