Kazakhstan's Senate deputies approved a bill in its second reading that increases penalties for attacks on medical personnel, including doctors, paramedics, and ambulance drivers. The maximum prison sentence for such crimes will be 12 years. The law is expected to be signed by the president, reports Tengrinews.kz.
The new version of Article 380-3 of the Criminal Code clearly distinguishes between types of violence: threats and non-life-threatening violence, as well as dangerous violence. Different penalties are provided for each of these cases.
In cases of threats or violence that do not pose a danger to health or life, the penalties for assaulting medical workers and ambulance drivers include:
fines;
corrective labor;
community service for up to 300 hours;
restriction or imprisonment for up to two years.
If the assault occurred under aggravating circumstances, such as by a group of individuals, repeatedly, or in emergency conditions, the possible penalties will be:
restriction of freedom from three to seven years or imprisonment for the same period.
In cases of dangerous violence that threatens life and health, the following measures are provided:
imprisonment from 5 to 10 years;
in the presence of aggravating circumstances — from 7 to 12 years.
According to Tengrinews.kz, in the initial version of the bill, some penalties were stricter.
Medical workers have repeatedly become victims of violence, and this is a problem that persists in the country. A similar situation is observed in Kyrgyzstan, where attacks on medical personnel are also a serious issue. In November 2025, penalties for such incidents were tightened in the republic. For hooliganism against a person performing official or professional duties, the Criminal Code provides for a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 soms or imprisonment for a term of three to five years.
