About the Fund

The Social Health Insurance Fund was created in 2016 by the Government of Kazakhstan to ensure accessibility and quality of medical care for the population, as well as to reduce the population’s costs through compulsory social health insurance (OSHI). The Foundation's activities are aimed at implementing state policy in the field of healthcare and improving the compulsory medical insurance system in the country.
