Construction of the National Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics actively continues in Bishkek. The press center of the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan reported.
According to it, 3 billion soms have been allocated from the state budget for the construction of the facility. The work began in March 2025 with laying of the capsule. Currently, the foundation is being built, with about 100 workers involved. The commissioning of the center is scheduled for 2026.
According to the Director of the National Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Academician Sabyrbek Dzhumabekov, injuries are the third leading cause of death in Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, existing healthcare institutions are not able to fully meet the growing needs of the population for trauma and orthopedic care.
The future center will be a multidisciplinary medical complex with a total area of 34,500 square meters. It will include five modern blocks equipped with advanced medical equipment. Underground and above-ground parking lots for the convenience of patients and medical staff are planned.
For prompt transportation of patients by air ambulance, a modern helipad is provided on the roof of the building.
The hospital will be designed for 500 beds and will unite 11 specialized departments, including intensive care, operating rooms, an admissions department, an outpatient clinic, a clinical diagnostic and bacteriological laboratory, a physiotherapy and rehabilitation department.
For the first time in Kyrgyzstan, it is planned to create a specialized department for sports injuries, where athletes will be able to receive qualified medical care.
The center will conduct high-precision diagnostic studies — MRI, ultrasound, X-ray and others. Comprehensive postoperative rehabilitation will also be organized. One of the key areas will be the introduction of arthroscopy — a minimally invasive method of diagnosing and treating joints, carried out through small incisions using an endoscope.
