30 health workers fired in At-Bashy

AKIPRESS.COM - Reduction of medical personnel was done in At-Bashy district of Naryn region, Ilim Beishenaliev, director of the Center for General Medical Practice, confirmed. The At-Bashy medical institution employs about 400 people. Staff reduction should have been carried out three years ago, he said.
"Since April 8, the district hospital and the Family Medicine Center were merged into the Center for General Medical Practice. State institutions must operate on the basis of regulations. In 2019, the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan and the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund issued order No. 5233, according to which staff reductions were made. Since then, no staff reduction was done for various reasons. We had an audit," he explained.
30 health workers were fired in At-Bashy district. "We have a lot of nurses in our district," he said.
Health workers from some district were outraged by the decision.
