Who holds the health record in Kazakhstan?
In 2026, Kazakhstan scores 48 of 100 on a person's right to see, control and share their own health record: rank 55= of 198 countries (likely range 45 to 80), in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: State. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of 2026-10-01.
The government decides, with limited individual say. Its strongest right against the other countries is clinical AI governance (48, against a median of 30 across 198 countries); its weakest is privacy and security (38, median 45).
Kazakh law promises consent and an access log for health data, but the state collects records centrally and its systems are still being joined up.

Can I get my health records in Kazakhstan?
Access to the full record scores 60 of 100 in Kazakhstan, against a median of 43 across 198 countries. Article 61 of the Health Code gives a right to see one's data in the National Electronic Health Passport, and eGov's eDensaulyq shows prescriptions, hospital stays and referrals. The Ministry said in December 2025 the passport still holds limited data; usage was not verified.
Can I control who sees my health record in Kazakhstan?
Control and consent scores 46 of 100 in Kazakhstan, against a median of 30 across 198 countries. The Health Code says providers may access a person's medical data only with consent and gives a right to track an access log. But data must flow to the national health passport without consent, and whether patients can actually see the log was not verified.
