At a meeting of the parliamentary committee on labor, health care, women's affairs, and social issues, Azamat Mukhanov, the chairman of the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund, stated the need to change the age for free health insurance for children to under 18 years old. This proposal became part of the discussion on the draft law "On Health Insurance for Citizens."

According to him, previously the program covered children only up to 16 years old, but the new changes are aimed at current realities. Mukhanov noted that the document specifies that insurance will be valid "until the end of education," which implies an age up to 18 years. Currently, funding is already allocated, and all children's rights remain protected.

He also added that the adoption of this law will not require additional financial investments.
