Deputy Minister of Health Bakytbek Kadyraliev reported that in 2024, Kyrgyzstan registered 21,195 cases of diseases that could lead to serious consequences such as liver cirrhosis and cancer. In 2025, there were 8,555 cases recorded, among which:
- hepatitis A - 8,415;
- hepatitis B - 75;
- hepatitis C - 56;
- hepatitis D - 9.
For the prevention and treatment of hepatitis, 492 million 460 thousand soms have been allocated in 2026.In order to reduce the infection rate, Torobekova proposed introducing mandatory medical examinations for future spouses. She noted that such a practice is already successfully implemented in Uzbekistan, which helps to avoid the transmission of infections between partners.
The deputy also emphasized that in Kyrgyzstan, there are cases where men returning from Moscow with infections marry without informing their parents. As a result, their wives are at risk of infection. "It is important to inform the population, create accessible videos about the ways of transmission of infections. The younger generation often does not realize the risks, for example, when using their fathers' razors. It is also necessary to strengthen control over migrants who may be carriers of various diseases, including HIV," she added.
