On January 22, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed proposals to accelerate healthcare reforms under the “Uzbekistan 2030” strategy. Plans include creating a \u201cCenter for Healthcare Projects\u201d at the Ministry of Health to oversee state health insurance, free medical services, medicine access, and service quality improvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 1 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news. PLEASE USE ONLY THE FEATURED IMAGE FUNCTION on your right column to add the image.” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The “Uzbekistan 2030”<\/strong> strategy outlines critical tasks to protect public health and improve the quality of healthcare services. To accelerate these reforms and ensure their effective implementation, proposals developed with the participation of international experts include creating a project office, the “Center for Health Projects,” within the Ministry of Health<\/strong> as a state institution.<\/p>\n The center will oversee the full implementation of the state health insurance system, provide state-guaranteed free medical services and medicines, strengthen quality and safety control in healthcare, develop human resource potential, and enhance medical education and science in line with international standards. It will also support the adoption of digital technologies, promote public-private partnership projects, expand the private healthcare sector, improve the transparency of public procurement, and reform the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n Experienced specialists from medical centers, higher education institutions, and international consultants will be engaged in the center\u2019s activities on a contractual basis.<\/p>\n Strengthening human resources is a key component of these reforms. Educational programs at the Tashkent Medical Academy<\/strong> will undergo international accreditation, and master\u2019s programs in public health, preventive medicine, and physical activity will be introduced. Medical students’ knowledge will be evaluated through a two-stage state exam system aligned with international standards.<\/p>\n Starting next academic year, based on regional needs, 200 graduates of medical universities will receive training in leading foreign institutions through master\u2019s and clinical residency programs. Specialized centers for surgery, cardiology, endocrinology, dermatovenereology, cosmetology, and pediatric and national medical care will undergo international accreditation.<\/p>\n
