TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, November 10. President
Shavkat Mirziyoyev highlighted the need for more effective use of
resources in the healthcare sector during a meeting with medical
and pharmaceutical workers.
Over the past five years, specialized medical centers have
received 7.5 trillion soums (around $623 million), he said, and
have been equipped with thousands of modern devices.
“Can any center claim a shortage of medicines? But how are these
funds, equipment, and medications actually being used?
Unfortunately, only 25% of the equipment’s capacity is being
utilized,” the President noted.
He stressed that healthcare centers, as well as district and
regional health administrations that fail to embrace
digitalization, seek international partnerships, update clinical
protocols, and build modern teams for advanced diagnostics,
prevention, and treatment, will have no future.
President Mirziyoyev also emphasized the importance of analyzing
disease patterns in specific districts and communities, developing
precise plans for prevention and effective treatment, and ensuring
that national centers guide local facilities using such data-driven
approaches. He said that making full use of expensive, modern
medical equipment is more critical than ever.
