Doctors working in the regions are also eligible for preferential housing loans, relocation payments and compensation of expenses. In 2025, 1,760 doctors received various forms of support, ranging from official housing to utility compensation.
The authorities also introduced a new honorary title, “Kazakhstannyn enbeksinigen dárigeri,” along with a cash payment and an award for the best specialists.
