The President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the clinic at the Andijan State Medical Institute.

The clinic was built in 1975. Since then, only routine repairs have been accomplished at the institution. More than 90,000 people visit the hospital every year. The hospital can accommodate more than 30,000 patients per year. The students of the Andijan State Medical Institute also practice here.

However, the hospital has long run out of resources. The building requires reconstruction.

The President observed the situation in the hospital and instructed to reconstruct the clinic to a regional medical center, where doctors would perform complex operations in cardiology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology and urology.

The President talked with doctors.

«We need first of all to strengthen public health and improve living conditions to elevate the dignity of a person, to ensure his vital interests. This institute and its clinic can become an important center in this regard. We will create all the necessary conditions for this. It is necessary to update the teaching methodology, introduce advanced practices used in the world medicine.

Here, the President was informed about the ongoing work on the development of Andijan region’s healthcare system. The responsible officials were instructed to conduct a medical examination of the population based on the experience of Shakhrikhan District, to introduce new methods of treatment.
