Salaries of Medical Workers to Be Increased
Uzbekistan
At a meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the achievements in the healthcare sector and the priority tasks planned for 2025 were reviewed.
In 2024, 36 trillion Uzbek soums were allocated to the sector, a 25% increase compared to the previous year.
Six types of screening examinations were introduced at the primary level. As a result, 106,000 cases of diabetes, 194,000 cases of cardiovascular disease, over 2,000 cases of cancer in women, and nearly 1,000 cases of oncological diseases in children were detected at an early stage.
Over 2,000 specialists underwent retraining abroad, leading to high-tech operations accounting for 61% in regional areas. Clinical protocols in 43 fields were updated to meet international standards.
In specialized centers and their branches, 100,000 patients received treatment on preferential terms this year. Seven specialized centers were internationally accredited for quality control.
In 2025, 41 trillion Uzbek soums will be allocated to healthcare. These funds will be used to establish and equip new hospitals, expand existing capacities, and broaden the scope of medical examinations.
Additionally, salaries of medical workers will be increased next year. A system for providing performance-based bonuses to family doctors will be introduced.
The focus on regional healthcare will continue. State health insurance systems will be introduced in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, and in the Navoi, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm, and Kashkadarya regions. Centralized laboratory services will be expanded, and a "Procurement Center" with 13 regional branches will be established to monitor the use of medical equipment through an electronic system.
The meeting also addressed staffing issues, emphasizing the importance of improving education quality in medical institutions, ensuring its alignment with practical experience, and organizing hands-on training for graduates at the primary care level.
