It was noted that in 2024, 36 trillion sums were allocated to the healthcare sector, which is 25 percent more compared to the previous year. In 2025, it is planned to allocate 41 trillion sums for this sector. These funds will be used to establish and equip new hospitals, expand existing facilities, and increase the coverage of preventive examinations.
The head of state emphasized that the main task is to improve the quality of primary healthcare. The Ministry of Health has been instructed to build an effective management vertical in the regions and to pay special attention to remote and challenging areas.
Turkish experts conducted research on medical institutions and the medical services provided in six regions. As a result, proposals for systemic reform of primary healthcare services are being developed.
Responsible officials have been tasked with thoroughly analyzing the situation and preparing a resolution for the transformation of the primary healthcare level.
The program for the professional development of primary healthcare workers will be improved. A smooth transition from theoretical training and skill acquisition to competency formation is planned.
Next year, the salaries of healthcare workers will also be increased. A system for providing bonuses based on performance indicators will be implemented for family doctors.
Increased attention to the regions will continue. Pilot projects for state medical insurance will be introduced in Karakalpakstan, as well as in Navoi, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khorezm, and Kashkadarya regions. The network of centralized laboratories will be expanded. By creating a "Procurement Center" and its 13 regional branches, control over the use of medical equipment will be conducted through an electronic system.
400 clinical protocols will be revised across 35 new areas. Additionally, seven specialized centers and two universities will undergo international accreditation.
Special attention was given at the meeting to personnel training issues, emphasizing the importance of enhancing the quality of practical education in medical universities, strengthening the connection between theory and practice, and organizing opportunities for graduates to gain experience in primary healthcare institutions.
