The number of medical services provided after the introduction of digital identification systems decreased by 24.5%, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports. Of the 49,265 patients who visited outpatient clinics, 85% were identified using Face ID and the Digital Document service.
From January 1, the ministry plans to gradually scale up the new identification system throughout the country.
Face ID was introduced in Kazakhstan's outpatient clinics amid growing patient complaints about fictitious records of medical services in mobile applications.
The Ministry of Health began using such control mechanisms to reduce the number of padding and restore patient confidence in the healthcare system this summer.
The head of the department, Akmaral Alnazarova, also announced the use of Face ID during vaccination, since cases of padding and fictitious use of vaccines also occur:
“The issue of padding during vaccination is very problematic. I have also been contacted several times about padding. In one case, it turned out that one digit of the IIN was mixed up."
However, the minister noted, today the legislation does not provide for liability for this, accordingly, "there are no regulatory levers in terms of padding."
Recall that EDF talked about this initiative in a large review dedicated to the introduction of biometric identification in Kazakhstani government agencies and organizations. Our experts warned about the risks that may arise from this.

They drew attention to the lack of transparency in matters of storing and protecting biometric data. The lack of appropriate data protection measures can lead to serious consequences, including cyberattacks and leaks.
