Summary
The Independent Center of Competence Assessment (ICCA) collaborates with medical and pharmaceutical associations to create a fair and transparent system for evaluating the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals, leveraging modern information technologies. Its mission is to assist doctors and pharmacists in validating their qualifications and advancing their careers, ultimately enhancing healthcare quality. The ICCA promotes a culture of professional accountability and continuous development, fosters self-regulation within the professional community, and aims to build patient trust in the healthcare system. By 2026, ICCA plans to implement a transparent and standardized competency assessment system for at least 80% of medical and pharmaceutical professionals in Kyrgyzstan, with a focus on health promotion and the professional health community.

Challenges
"The main challenges were bureaucratic procedures, difficulties with introducing payment for testing, and low digital literacy among some health professionals. These slowed down implementation and required extra efforts in communication and training."
Recommendations
"Positive factors included strong support from professional medical associations, active involvement of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, and assistance from the MER project. We recommend simplifying administrative processes, providing digital skills training, and ensuring transparent communication on financial models. Early engagement of stakeholders and close cooperation with government bodies proved to be best practices that will support scalability and sustainability of the project. "
