Yashoda Medicity, a quaternary care hospital located in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Republic of Kazakhstan, Turkistan City, to strengthen cooperation in advanced medical care, patient referrals, healthcare training and knowledge exchange.
The three-year agreement aims to create a defined pathway for patients from Turkistan requiring specialised treatment in India, while also opening avenues for cross-border clinical consultation and healthcare professional development.
Under the MoU, patients from Turkistan requiring complex interventions will be able to access specialised tertiary and quaternary care at Yashoda Medicity, including second opinions, tele-consultations and treatment planning.
The two sides will also explore coordination for visas, appointments and admissions, in accordance with applicable laws. Yashoda Medicity will appoint a Nodal Officer to coordinate the international patient journey.
Additionally, the partnership will focus on healthcare capacity building through short- and long-term training programmes, clinical observerships and fellowships for doctors, nurses and paramedical professionals from Turkistan, alongside knowledge sharing in hospital management and quality systems.
The Turkistan Health Care Department will support patient referrals, coordination and nomination of healthcare professionals for training programmes, while Yashoda Medicity will provide preferential facilitation to department-referred patients, subject to availability.
Dr. P.N. Arora, chairman and managing director, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, said cross-border healthcare partnerships can help improve access to specialised medical expertise and strengthening healthcare capabilities.
“This MoU with the Republic of Kazakhstan, Turkistan City reflects a shared commitment towards facilitating quality care, knowledge exchange and meaningful institutional cooperation. It also creates an opportunity to build stronger pathways for patients requiring complex and specialised treatment, while enabling healthcare professionals to learn from each other and strengthen clinical capabilities. We believe such partnerships can contribute to deeper and more sustainable healthcare cooperation between India and Kazakhstan,” he said.
The agreement comes amid growing healthcare and Medical Value Travel ties between India and Central Asia. Kazakhstan has emerged as an important market for patients seeking specialised treatment in India. The 4th India-Central Asia Dialogue, held in June 2025, also identified healthcare and medical tourism as areas for deeper regional cooperation.
Yashoda Medicity said India’s expanding Medical Value Travel ecosystem, including initiatives such as the AYUSH Visa, further supports the collaboration between the two countries.
