The necessity of forming a health Rating of the population of Kazakhstan, which would reflect the state and qualitative changes, is argued, which implies conducting a set of studies. At the present stage of the study, the results of which are disclosed in this article, a “framework” analysis of the availability of health services in Kazakhstan was conducted, based on data for the period 2018–2022. The study revealed both positive trends in the improvement of most indicators characterizing the availability of medical services depending on income, and the presence of severe imbalances. Based on the results obtained, further directions of research on the formation of a rating reflecting the achievement of the third Sustainable Development Goal for Kazakhstan, with the aim of further improving the healthcare system, have been identified.
