How the one can get drugs via a QR-code in Kazakhstan?

In Kazakhstan, patients can receive free medicines through electronic prescriptions using a QR code via the “Social Wallet” service in the eGov mobile application.

The service is used to provide outpatient medicines to certain categories of citizens under the Guaranteed Volume of Free Medical Care (GVFMC) and the compulsory social health insurance (CSHI) system.

Once an electronic prescription has been issued in the medicine supply information system, the patient can obtain an electronic voucher with a QR code and present it when collecting the prescribed medicines.

The service has been introduced in all regions of Kazakhstan. Patients should confirm the availability of medicines through this service with their healthcare organization.
