Hospitals ready for possible spike in coronavirus cases, but Kyrgyzstan lacks doctors now

AKIPRESS.COM - Hospitals are prepared for growth of daily coronavirus cases: medicines and equipment are available in sufficient amount, Deputy Prime Minister Elvira Surabaldieva said.
"Donors helped a lot with equipment. We will buy more equipment ourselves. Another problem now is shortage of doctors," she added.
A certain amount of young doctors graduate from medical schools, who are sent to the regions. But the government needs to create conditions for their work there as well, Elvira Surabaldieva said.
Doctor supply in Naryn makes just 55%, she said.
