Private Sector’s Role in Chronic Disease Management in Kyrgyzstan

This study will systematically review the role of the private sector in the management of NCDs (including cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.) in developing countries, and its implications to Kyrgyzstan. We will try to understand how low- and middle-income countries with similar GDP per capita, disease burden, and health system needs have harnessed the capacity of private sector in the management of NCDs. Experiences gained from these exemplar country(ies) will be emphasized and suggestions on how this could be applied to the Kyrgyzstan context will be provided. The outputs of this study will provide much-needed data, evidence and policy recommendations for our partner organizations, and for Canadian healthcare industry and pharmaceutical companies to enter this market, and potentially other similar markets in Central Asia countries.
