About Kyrgyzstan

Why study MBBS in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked, mountainous Central Asian republic bordering Kazakhstan, China, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Mountains cover 80% of the land, including Lake Issyk-Kul, the second-largest mountain lake in the world.

Nicknamed the 'Switzerland of Central Asia', it is peaceful, politically stable and extremely welcoming to international students.

Universities are recognised by NMC, WHO and the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS). The 5.5-year English-medium MBBS and low total cost make Kyrgyzstan attractive for students wanting quality education close to home.
