History

The National Center for Maternal and Child Health (the Center) dates back to August 1961, when it was opened in accordance with a special Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Council of Ministers of the Kirghiz SSR "On the creation of a material and technical base for hospitals and polyclinics, maternity homes and children's hospitals."
In 1974, the institute was renamed the Kirghiz Research Institute of Obstetrics and Pediatrics, under which status it continued its activities until 2004.
In April 2004, as part of the restructuring of inpatient healthcare institutions, the National Center for Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery was created, combining the scientific and human resources of the two largest medical units in the republic - the Research Institute of Obstetrics and Pediatrics and the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital. The obstetrics department was transferred to the National Hospital.

The current status of the National Center for Maternal and Child Health was approved by the Decree of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic dated October 23, 2007 and the order of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic dated October 31, 2007.

As amended by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic dated December 31, 2021, obstetrics issues were reintroduced into the Center for Maternal and Child Health.
From the very beginning of the organization of the Center, it was entrusted with the functions of the leading institution for the protection of motherhood and childhood in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Over the past years, the Center has become one of the largest research, organizational, methodological and medical and advisory institutions of the Republic, which received recognition in its time in the USSR, and today - in most CIS countries, with which it maintains close professional ties.
