Yerbolat Askarbekovich Dosayev (born 1970) served as the Finance Minister of Kazakhstan from 16 June 2003 to 5 April 2004, head of the Agency for Regulating Natural Monopolies, and later as the Minister of Health Care. He was fired on 20 September 2006 after 56 patients in an hospital in South Kazakhstan Region (Yuzhno-Kazahstanskaya Oblast), all but one of which were children, were accidentally infected with HIV and five of the children died. Another 16 children soon tested positive for HIV, and a sixth child died from AIDS. Dosayev's replacement, Anatoly Dernovoi, announced on 10 October that four more children were found to be infected with HIV and "eight cases in mothers have been detected. The infection locus has been contained, but preventive efforts will continue." In January 2013 Yerbolat Dossayev was appointed Head of reorganized Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Finance minister

Although Dosayev had previously headed the Agency for Regulating Natural Monopolies, Radio Free Europe took Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev's appointment of Dosayev to Finance Minister as a surprise, calling him and Adilbek Jaksybekov, who Nazarbayev appointed Minister of Trade and Industry, "newcomers." Kazakh Prime Minister Imangali Tasmagambetov's resignation triggered the dismissal of all government ministers as outlined in the Constitution of Kazakhstan.

Dosayev, addressing journalists and the Parliament of Kazakhstan on 19 March that AGIP KCO would pay the government USD 150 million for delaying oil production in the Kashagan oilfield. He said, "There will be two sums - 100 and 50 [million dollars]. One hundred is to arrive, and 50 will come a bit later." The Revenue Watch Institute characterized his answer to a question regarding further payments for delaying output as "evasive." Dosayev said, "You know, Vladimir Sergeyevich Shkolnik will tell you everything that was envisaged. I cannot speak about all the sums. The only thing I can now say is that 100 [million dollars] will arrive. We will negotiate the remainder later. The compensation calculated on the basis of the years [of postponed extraction]." He said that the government would "adjust the timeframe for payments and the like, if necessary," and the payment would either be transferred to the "National Fund [where surplus oil revenues are accumulated] or the budget to get the money. I think it will be the National Fund."

Accidental HIV infections

May

The patients were infected either by the use of unsterilized syringes, or by the transfusion of contaminated blood, in May 2006. At least four of the children have died from AIDS.

Bolat Jylkyshiev, the governor of the Southern Kazakhstan region, was also fired. Nurlan Abdirov, the deputy head of Kazakhstan's National Security Committee, said Dosayev and Jylkyshiev were guilty of "serious" negligence.

Abdirov said President Nursultan Nazarbayev would personally oversee an investigation into the accident. Nazarbayev gave the government until December 2006 to draft a national program to fight against HIV and AIDS infections.
