At a meeting with UNICEF representatives, the Kazakh delegation discussed the possibility of expanding the list of purchased medicines, which will reduce delivery times and budget costs. The program of cooperation with UNICEF has shown its effectiveness: last year, it was possible to save about 1.67 billion tenge. A similar result is expected for 2025.
