MP Urges Investment to Modernize Health Resorts in Kazakhstan
What happened
An MP urged the government of Kazakhstan to attract private investment to modernize the country's health resorts, noting that nearly half of the 257 national sanatoriums are currently classified as unsatisfactory according to Ekaterina Smolyakova. The lawmaker cited severe degradation of material and technical bases at sites like Barlyk-Arasan and Kapal-Arasan. The MP also highlighted systemic failures in data management between the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Bureau of National Statistics.

Why it matters
The poor condition and management of these health resorts, which represent existing tourism capital, are currently preventing them from contributing effectively to the economy. The MP noted that the continued operation of most resorts relies on private entrepreneurs rather than state support, indicating instability in these assets.
