Who holds the health record in Kazakhstan?
In 2026, Kazakhstan scores 48 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 55th of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 45th to 80th allowing for scoring error, in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: the government. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The government decides, with limited say for the person. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is rules for AI in your care (48 out of 100, against 30 for the typical country). The furthest behind is privacy and security (38 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
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.

Questions people ask
Can I see my health record in Kazakhstan?
In 2026, getting your full record scores 60 out of 100 in Kazakhstan; the typical country scores 40 to 45. 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. Source: zakon.uchet.kz, and the other sources below.
Who controls health records in Kazakhstan?
In 2026, the government holds the keys to your health record in Kazakhstan. Control over who sees it scores 46 out of 100 in Kazakhstan; the typical country scores 30. The Health Code says providers may access a person's medical data only with consent and gives a right to track an access log.

What would Kazakhstan need to change to score higher?
Kazakhstan sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65.

Our scoring rules give more points for:
Privacy and security: A health data regulator that is independent and actually acts: it decides cases about health records, breaches must be reported, and fines are applied.
Protection from sale and ads: Clear limits on selling health data or using it for ads, covering apps and data brokers as well as doctors and hospitals.

Code On Public Health and the Healthcare System (No. 360-VI) (2020): Patient rights, digital health chapter, consent-based access, access log right, medical secrecy, research consent.
Law On Personal Data and Their Protection (No. 94-V) (2013): Consent, withdrawal, breach notice to regulator, state consent service, cross-border transfer limits.
