Training Family Medicine Practitioners at the Family Medicine Training Center in Issyk-Kul Oblast

Since 1996, Issyk-Kul Oblast has been one of Kyrgyzstan's key health reform demonstration sites, with an emphasis on primary care as the main vehicle of reform. ZdravReform has been working with the authorities there to facilitate a program of training doctors and trainers in family medicine in order to reinforce family group practices (FGPs) throughout the oblast. This report looks at how this has been achieved and at problems encountered in the process.
