A key focus was the upcoming "Bala Yrysy" program, which will offer a monthly allowance of 1,200 Kyrgyz soms to all children under three, irrespective of family income. Discussions addressed organizational aspects, eligibility criteria, payment procedures, and potential risks associated with the program's rollout.
The event also included a visit to a construction site for School No. 2, named after Salijan Zhygitov, which is slated for completion in autumn 2026. Journalists and bloggers toured the Osh City Clinical Hospital, learning about its operations and the construction of a new 300-bed wing.
