Kanybek Tumanbaev inspects construction of new trauma center

Kanybek Tumanbaev, head of Kyrgyzstan’s presidential administration, has inspected construction of the new National Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics in Bishkek.

Most of the concrete and brickwork has been completed. Workers are now carrying out interior finishing, installing engineering communications and fitting internal systems.

The center is designed for 450 to 500 beds and is expected to become one of Central Asia’s largest specialized medical facilities of its kind. Medical care will be provided free of charge under state guarantees. The plans include two-bed rooms and facilities for patients, along with modern climate-control and purified-air systems.

The complex will also have its own oxygen station. A helipad for medical aviation will be built on the roof of the western wing, allowing patients to be transported directly from an accident site to the center within two hours.

The building will include a basement and seven floors, covering about 35,000 square meters. It will have 12 elevators, underground parking for 50 cars and about 200 additional parking spaces outside. A landscaped green area for patients’ walks is planned next to the building. After the inspection, Tumanbaev ordered officials to ensure construction quality and finish the project on schedule. Completion is planned by the end of 2026.
