Shavkat Mirziyoyev has inquired into the progress in the construction of the National Multidisciplinary Medical Center in Tashkent’s Mirzo Ulugbek district.

This major institution is expected to host departments for surgery, intensive care, eye microsurgery, general therapy, nephrology, pulmonology, hepatology, allergology, cardiology, vascular surgery, cardiac resuscitation, dentistry, gastroenterology, endocrinology and other specialized areas. Services will be provided in a comprehensive manner, building on international standards.

“We barely have experience in managing such clinics covering a vast range of areas. Therefore, I reckon it necessary to transfer its administration to experienced foreign managers, invite them as soon as at this incipient phase, ask for their views and recommendations for construction and equipment,” the President suggested.

The center will have a capacity of 600 beds. More than 200 types of outpatient and inpatient medical services are planned to be provided in it. It is expected that the center’s specialists will perform over 3,000 hi-tech operations, including coronary artery bypass grafting, aesthetic plastic surgery, arthroplasty, organ and tissue transplantation.

The head of our state noted the importance of organizing interaction between this center and clinics in regions.

“The main inconvenience that our patients experience is the road,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev stressed. “We should set up distance diagnosis and treatment in remote areas so that people do not have to travel from afar.”

In organizing the center’s activities, special attention is paid to international cooperation. It is planned to establish partnerships with leading clinics in Germany, Turkey, South Korea, Russia, among others, and hire foreign specialists.

The center is anticipated to employ 250 physicians and 500 nurses. In order to train qualified personnel, greater significance ought to be attached to the integration of education, practice and science.

The modern clinic, being built in the territory of the institution popularly known as the “old TashMI”, is scheduled to be commissioned in December next year.
