Summary:The article analyzes the situation with the development of gerontology in the Kyrgyz Republic. The long-term process of setting up the gerontological service in the country and its achievements are described in detail. A positive fact is that international organizations and the state and society itself began to pay attention to the issue of older people. Despite the tangible success achieved in the development of the service, there are still pressing problems that require urgent measures, especially the development of the geriatric service, which today does not meet the modern challenges of aging. The important role of the creation of the gerontology institute as a coordinating body in the training of specialized personnel, the performance and development of cooperated scientific research, and the implementation of its results in healthcare practice is emphasized.
