Aims: to study the factors constraining the introduction of new medical technologies in the health care system of Kazakhstan, and to find ways of improving innovation activity in Kazakhstan. Methods and Material: Prospective review of online poll of health workers about development of innovations in sector of health care of the Republic of Kazakhstan is submitted. We made questionnaire for medical experts. Results of poll were analyzed with use of the statistical SPSS 16 program. In the analysis we used descriptive statistics, the factor analysis, correlation and the multidimensional dispersive analysis. Results: It was found that in the majority of cases (62.4%), innovations were borrowed (imported from abroad), and they have mostly (63.3%) been introduced into clinical medicine by health care practitioners (66.9%), while the lowest percentage of innovative activity in the country (22.8%) among the experts having scientific and academic degrees. Conclusions:The factor analysis or principal components analysis suggests that the main reasons for the low innovation activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan is a lack of awareness of experts about the latest achievements of science, lack of trained personnel and insufficient target financing of innovation in health care. As development of innovations depends on activity of that professional category of the scientific researchers participating in creation of new drugs, methods of treatment and diagnostics of patients it is necessary to attract actively this professional category to innovative activity in health care.
