  • Kyrgyzstan will allocate 50% of remaining funds from "Safe City" traffic fines to purchase ambulances and medical equipment.
  • These funds will supplement the republican budget after covering existing expenses related to traffic violations.
  • The Ministry of Health will receive half of this amount for emergency medical services, with the new system taking effect 10 days after publication.

Kyrgyzstan is set to allocate half of the remaining revenue from "Safe City" traffic fines towards acquiring and equipping ambulances. This decision, formalized through amendments to a cabinet of ministers' resolution on the "Smart City" project, aims to bolster emergency medical services across the country.

The revised procedure for managing funds collected from violations registered by the automated information system "Unified Register of Offenses" dictates that after standard expenditures are met, the remaining balance will be directed to the republican budget. From this pool, the Ministry of Health will receive 50% specifically for the purchase of ambulances and essential medical equipment.

This initiative is intended to enhance the quality of emergency medical care provided to citizens. The Ministry of Health is tasked with aligning its internal decisions with this new resolution, while the Ministry of Finance will incorporate the changes into the republican budget for 2026 and the planned period of 2027-2028. The new financial scheme will come into effect 10 days after its official publication.
