The original article is in Kazakh, so here is the translation via DeepL:

Face ID will be introduced in Kazakhstan to combat [malicious] records in polyclinics, the Health Ministry said.

A pilot project has already been launched on the basis of the republican polyclinic of primary health care in Astana [the capital of Kazakhstan].

Under the project, patients will be identified using Face-ID and webcams, which will eliminate the possibility of falsifying data on services received, the Health Ministry said.

"By the end of this year we will conduct a pilot project in Astana, and from January 1 we plan to scale it to the whole country. This will become an effective tool, which will eliminate imputations at the root."
