The document has been published on the \u201cOpen NPA\u201d portal and will be available for public discussion until June 4, 2026. According to the Ministry, the proposed amendments are technical and clarifying in nature. Their main purpose is to update certain provisions of the current rules and align them with the latest version of Kazakhstan\u2019s legislation. In particular, the Ministry plans to update references to the Tax Code, as well as revise certain wording and the title of a regulatory legal act. Such updates are considered standard practice to maintain the relevance of the regulatory framework and ensure uniform application of legislation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Procedure for Selling Medicines Will Remain Unchanged<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Ministry specifically emphasized that the amendments do not affect the current procedures for wholesale and retail sale of medicines and medical devices. This means that no new requirements will be introduced for pharmacies, distributors, suppliers, and other participants of the pharmaceutical market, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>new restrictions;<\/li>\n<li>additional licensing requirements;<\/li>\n<li>new reporting obligations;<\/li>\n<li>changes in product sale conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The draft does not provide for an increased regulatory burden on businesses and will not entail additional financial costs for entrepreneurs or the general public. Therefore, market participants will continue operating under the existing rules and procedures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Businesses Should Monitor Legislative Changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the technical nature of the amendments, experts recommend that companies closely monitor all legislative updates. Even changes in wording or references to legal acts may affect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>~ internal document management;<\/li>\n<li>~ accounting procedures;<\/li>\n<li>~ tax accounting and reporting;<\/li>\n<li>~ preparation of contracts and primary documentation;<\/li>\n<li>~ compliance with regulatory requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For pharmaceutical and medical organizations, timely adaptation to legislative changes is especially important, as the industry remains one of the most highly regulated sectors in Kazakhstan. Proper compliance with legal requirements helps businesses avoid reporting errors, regulatory claims, and tax risks. The Ministry also noted that updating the regulatory framework is an ongoing process aimed at ensuring transparency, legal accuracy, and a stable legal environment in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Public Discussion Will Continue Until June<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The draft amendments have been published on the egov.kz portal in the \u201cOpen NPA\u201d section. Until June 4, 2026, business representatives, experts, and other interested parties may review the document and submit comments or suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>After the public discussion is completed, the draft may be revised based on the feedback received.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>FChain Services for Pharmaceutical and Medical Organizations<\/h3>\n<p>FChain provides professional accounting, tax, HR and legal services for businesses in Kazakhstan, including support for pharmaceutical and medical organizations.<\/p>\n<p>We offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>~ accounting and tax bookkeeping services for pharmaceutical and medical companies;<\/li>\n<li>~ timely preparation and submission of reports;<\/li>\n<li>~ legal and HR support for pharmaceutical and medical companies;<\/li>\n<li>~ consulting on the application of new legislative requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact us to receive professional support for your business and confidently operate in a changing regulatory environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kz.f-chain.com\/en\/feautured-post\/nds-v-zachet-po-importu-iz-eaes-rk\/\">VAT Credit Rules for Imports from the EAEU: What Businesses Need to Know<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Prepared by: Moldir Mukhtar<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Business Development Specialist<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>FChain Kazakhstan<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\ud83d\udce9 almaty@f-chain.com<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\ud83d\udcf1 WhatsApp: +7 771 214 1820<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rules for the Sale of Medicines and Medical Devices to Be Updated The Ministry of Healthcare of Kazakhstan has prepared a draft of amendments to the Rules for Wholesale and Retail Sale of Medicines and Medical Devices.
