Introduction. The article analyzes modern innovative approaches to the preservation and improvement of women’s reproductive health in the Republic of Kazakhstan and worldwide. The authors aimed to provide a scientific justification for the role of medical, digital, and organizational-social innovations in increasing the effectiveness of the reproductive health care system, and to identify priority directions for their further development in the context of demographic and medico-social challenges.

Objective. To analyze modern innovative approaches to protecting and improving women’s reproductive health in the Republic of Kazakhstan and global practice, and to identify priority areas for their development.

Materials and Methods. The research materials include official statistical data and analytical reports from the World Health Organization and UNFPA, regulatory and legal documents, state programs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the results of domestic and international scientific studies in reproductive medicine. The study employs methods of systemic and comparative analysis, the generalization of scientific data, and content analysis of national and international reproductive health protection strategies.

Results. The study demonstrated that the implementation of integrated primary health care models, screening and preventive programs, telemedicine, assisted reproductive technologies, and digital educational platforms contributes to improved accessibility and quality of medical care, early identification of risk factors, reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality, and the formation of responsible reproductive behavior among women and young people.

Conclusion. Further development of the women’s reproductive health care system requires expanding scientifically grounded and personalized approaches, improving prognostic and screening programs, fostering interdisciplinary cooperation, and sustainable state support for innovative solutions aimed at preserving reproductive potential and ensuring the demographic sustainability of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
