En PPP in healthcare in Kazakhstan: analysis of the current state and foreign experience

Abstract

The government's attention to social projects contributes to the growing importance of PPP in the healthcare sector. One of the key problems of healthcare in the Republic of Kazakhstan remains insufficient funding, which leads to limited access to modern medical technologies and qualified care, especially in rural areas.

The healthcare system is faced with a shortage of personnel, which negatively affects the quality of services provided. This article examines the role of public-private partnerships in healthcare with an emphasis on analyzing the current state of PPP development in Kazakhstan and the possibility of implementing the international Alzira model. A literature review was conducted examining the concept of PPP, its advantages and disadvantages, taking into account international experience. The paper presents an analysis of data on implemented PPP projects and their contribution to infrastructure development. The paper identified systemic problems, such as insufficient availability of information on specific medical institutions operating on the basis of PPP. Based on international experience, the Spanish Alzira model is proposed as a successful example for adaptation in Kazakhstan.

The article discusses the advantages of this model, as well as its possible risks and limitations. The paper notes the need to adapt the successful international Alzira model to strengthen PPP mechanisms and improve their effectiveness in the healthcare system of Kazakhstan.
