The President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, announced an important update for employees working in the education and healthcare sectors in the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, starting from April 1, 2026, the salaries of teachers and doctors will be doubled. The president announced this decision at the People's Kurultai held on December 25.

The average salary of doctors currently is 31,500 soms (approximately 4.3 million UZS). From April 2026, this sum will increase to 62,500 soms (8.6 million UZS).
