Emergencies

Information about various services in Bishkek Kyrgyzstan

Emergency health care is available free of charge to visitors. However, although doctors are well trained and professional, facilities and specialties tend to lag behind what is available in the west. As in much of the former Soviet Union, doctors and hospitals lack the latest equipment and medicines and the hospitals' physical facilities can be run down. But facilities are being improved and visitors can find a good level of care and treatment, especially in Bishkek, if they can pay for it.

In any case, travelers are advised to carry a well-equipped first-aid kit with prescriptions. For minor difficulties, visitors are advised inquire to the I management at their hotel or travel agency.
