A responsible body is the State Agency for Architecture, Construction, Housing and Communal Services under the Kyrgyz Government. The Health Ministry is responsible for equipping these hospitals with the necessary medical equipment and recruiting personnel," Boronov noted.

During the meeting of the Republican HQ, it was also announced that idle buildings in regions will be converted into hospitals.

"Governors, together with the State Agency for Architecture, Construction and Housing and Communal Services under the Government should urgently provide repair of such buildings. Within a month they should be converted into medical facilities for about 100 beds, of which 25-30 beds should be given to intensive care units, “ the prime minister stressed.
