Disability, Person with disabilities, Situation on disability, Medical and social expertise, Kyrgyz Republic.

The objective is to study the epidemiological characteristics and assess the system for establishing a disability

in the Kyrgyz Republic.

In establishing disability, a biomedical model of health is used, which does not provide an objective assessment

of a person’s condition. This study analyzes data on the disability situation in the Kyrgyz Republic, which

indicates a steady annual increase in the disability rate. For children under 18 years of age, the establishment

of disability and assignment of the category “disabled child” is biased, since only the state of health and

dysfunction of the child’s functional abilities are assessed and, despite the difference in the severity of the

condition, the possibility of work capacity and the ability to participate in education is not evaluated.
