Since the beginning of 2025, 229 new cases of measles have already been registered in Kyrgyzstan, including 144 in the capital city, according to KABAR.
This became known at a meeting of the field Operational Headquarters on the incidence of measles.
The Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan reported that at the end of 2024, 14 thousand 380 cases of measles were recorded across the country.
The main reason for the increase in morbidity is low vaccination coverage, which in Bishkek is only 69%, while the required indicator is up to 95%.
