The Best Practice centers, which began opening last year, also help develop primary health care. The principles of their work have already been partially implemented in 28 clinics. The main focus is on the quality of medical, psychological and social services on a family basis.
There are 324 multidisciplinary teams in the best practices centers, which include family doctors, social workers, psychologists, midwives and nurses. Convenient office projects have been created: thanks to the program "The first 5 minutes through the eyes of the patient", the waiting time for services has been reduced by 80-90%. Residents can leave their wishes and complaints in the public reception "Halyk kenesi".
