A competence center for the future of healthcare
SBP Management is developing a long-term German-Kazakh cooperation initiative to modernize healthcare, develop medical professional competencies, and advance healthcare management.
The goal is to establish sustainable structures that transfer German and European experience to Kazakhstan's conditions and can be further developed locally in the long term.
Kazakhstan
The initiative is not designed as an isolated single project. It combines workforce development, vocational education, medical technology, sterile supply, digitalization, quality management, and organizational development in a modular overall structure.
The institutional centerpiece is the planned establishment of a Healthcare Academy Kazakhstan. The academy is intended to bring together qualification, train-the-trainer programs, quality assurance, knowledge transfer, and the coordination of international partnerships under one roof.
In the long term, this is intended to grow into a competence center that can be relevant not only for Kazakhstan but also, in perspective, for other Central Asian countries.
Development of a practice-oriented MFA qualification based on the German model.
Qualification for technical processes related to surgical instruments, maintenance, and medical technology.
Building professional competence and process standards for professional sterile supply.
Digital documentation, traceability, process quality, and quality assurance.
Organizational development, resource management, and modern management structures.
Establishment of a sustainable training and competence structure.
Professional exchange, job shadowing, and know-how transfer with German hospital partners.
Cooperation with institutions, chambers, and education and industry partners.
Kazakhstan & Central Asia
The development is designed in several stages: from partner identification and pilot planning, through the establishment of the academy and initial qualification programs, to scaling and developing a regional competence center with reach across Central Asia.
Partner identification and pilot planning
Establishment of the academy and initial qualification programs
Scaling and a regional competence center for Central Asia
A particular strength of the project is that SBP Management is not starting from scratch. Experience from the model developed in Serbia – curricula, practical training, quality assurance, train-the-trainer, and international partnerships – serves as a reference for adaptation to new markets.
