To increase the effectiveness and sustainability of these reforms, and to improve the quality of health care services, USAID is working with the Health Ministry to build capacity by training a team of national clinical mentors to provide guidance and positive reinforcement to Kazakh health care professionals.
Over the next several years, the USAID Quality Health Care Project will work to further improve the health status of Central Asians by building the capacity of public health systems to better meet the needs of vulnerable groups
USAID was created in 1961 by American President John F. Kennedy and is funded by the American people. Since 1992, USAID has supported local efforts to improve economic growth, governance, and the quality of health and education in Kazakhstan.
