3. Choosing a doctor and medical organization
Every patient has the right to choose and replace a doctor or a medical organization providing medical care within the guaranteed scope of free medical care and (or) in the system of compulsory social health insurance, except in cases of emergency and urgent care.
However, it is worth noting that the choice of a polyclinic is based on the following principles:
1) Family service;
2) territorial accessibility of primary health care;
3) free choice of a medical organization within the territorial accessibility of primary health care;
4) patient satisfaction with the quality of medical care;
5) equality and fair competition, regardless of the form of ownership and departmental affiliation.

The attachment to the polyclinic is carried out at the place of permanent or temporary residence, taking into account the right to freely choose a PHC organization within one administrative-territorial unit.
The free choice of a primary health care doctor is carried out in the polyclinic at the place of attachment, taking into account the number of attached population on the site.

The attachment of foreigners and (or) stateless persons temporarily staying in the Republic of Kazakhstan, asylum seekers to PHC organizations is carried out to provide:
PHC within the framework of voluntary medical insurance (VMI);
PHC within the framework of imputed health insurance (IUD).

4. Disease prevention and healthy lifestyle
The main purpose of prevention is to prevent diseases, their consequences and complications. There are three types of prevention: primary (prevention of diseases), secondary (stopping the progression of diseases), and tertiary (control of complications).

Preventive measures cover all population groups and take into account age, psychological and social aspects.

The formation of a healthy lifestyle includes regular physical activities, promotion of a healthy diet and preventive measures such as information and hygiene training.

Preventive vaccinations create immunity to infections and are divided into mandatory (planned and epidemiological indications) and voluntary (on a paid basis). Mandatory vaccinations are carried out for everyone in Kazakhstan, the list and procedure are determined by the government. Before vaccination, a medical examination is carried out and information about possible consequences is provided. Children without routine vaccinations are admitted to preschool institutions when they achieve collective immunity.

These measures strengthen health and reduce the risk of diseases.
