About Kazakhstan

Why study MBBS in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country and the economic powerhouse of Central Asia, generating roughly 60% of the region's GDP. Its capital, Astana, is a modern, purpose-built city.

A secular, constitutional republic, Kazakhstan has attracted more than $370 billion in foreign investment since 1991, rapidly modernising its infrastructure, universities and healthcare. It is ranked #1 for peacefulness among Central Asian nations.

Its medical universities are recognised by NMC, WHO, WDOMS, FAIMER, USMLE, IMED and GMC — among the broadest international recognitions available. The 6-year English-medium MBBS prepares graduates for FMGE/NExT and international licensing exams.
