Commitment description
What is the public problem that the commitment will address? Health system in the Kyrgyz Republic is considered by its citizens to be one of the spheres most prone to corruption risks, as evidenced by the National Statistical Committee data. According to its assessment the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic (hereinafter MoH) received 14.3 points in the public trust index in the second half of 2017, which is more than twice lower than the average for all other government agencies (http://stat.kg/ru/indeks-doveriya-naseleniya/). High level of corruption reduces effectiveness of the budget funds use allocated to health care and the quality of medical services provided to the population.

One of the most important factors in corruption risks presence (informal payments) is unavailability of information on the budgetary funds use. Thus, to date, it is impossible to find complete and comprehensive information about the available funds (financial, non-financial, material, human resources) in health care organizations of the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
What is the commitment? As part of this commitment it is planned to:
- provide machine-readable access to the budget and drug data, non-financial indicators of overall 200 primary, secondary and tertiary level public health organizations.
- develop and approve regulations for disclosing the abovementioned information to ensure sustainable disclosure of the health organizations’ data.
- to introduce quality assessment tools for services and performance of the health organizations, with an emphasis on quality services provision and achieving results.
How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem? Providing civil society with access to open data of the health organizations will allow for public monitoring of their performance, journalist investigations, creating opportunities for in-depth analysis of health sector systemic challenges and reducing corruption risks.
Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? Transparency: This commitment is aimed at providing access to the budget information and non-financial indicators of the health organizations.
