Abstract :Globalization is a complex socio-economic process that involves all spheres of life, including health care. The impact of globalization on health is twofold: on the one hand, there are new opportunities to develop health care, scientific and technical cooperation, access to health services in other countries. On the other hand, there are potential threats to the health of individual states, as the `brain drain` as a result of migration of health personnel abroad. In addition to global health is observed progression of global epidemics. This paper investigates the influence of forms of globalization on the health sector in general and the example of Kyrgyzstan in particular
