Kazakhstan is a leader in Central Asia in terms of implementing innovative models for the provision of PrEP.
In 2023, PrEP was made available through six partner NGOs and began being offered in pharmacies in Almaty. In 2024, access to PrEP through pharmacies was expanded to Astana.
The benefits of this approach include greater access for migrants, ease of receiving drugs, reduced stigma, increased awareness, and reduced healthcare costs.
ECOM released a report describing the creation of an alternative form of access to PrEP through the pharmacy network in Kazakhstan.
