Kyrgyzstan to introduce AI in healthcare with $20 million Russian investment

The Head of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kyrgyzstan, Temir Sariev, met with a Russian company planning to introduce artificial intelligence technologies into the country's healthcare system, with a $20 million investment already committed.

At a recent meeting in Bishkek, Temir Sariev, Head of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, held talks with representatives of a Russian company aiming to bring advanced AI technologies into Kyrgyzstan’s medical sector.

According to the Chamber, the project is focused on digitalizing patient medical records, implementing intelligent diagnostics, and utilizing data analysis to select optimal treatment strategies. The technology, already in use across Russia—particularly in Moscow—forms part of a federal-level digital health program.

To launch the system in Kyrgyzstan, the Russian firm is investing $20 million and will work closely with the Ministry of Health to roll out the initiative.

Beyond healthcare, the company also showcased innovative solutions for the agro-industrial sector. These included mobile dairy farms, advanced drying machines, and mobile laboratories. One proposal discussed was the implementation of mobile milk processing plants directly on farms—an approach expected to boost production efficiency and enhance product quality.

The meeting also welcomed representatives from Ural Bank, who expressed readiness to support foreign investors. Discussions further touched on the development of IT education in Kyrgyzstan and the broader application of artificial intelligence across different sectors of the economy.
