On September 4, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was briefed with a presentation on measures to improve the primary level of healthcare and implement the mechanisms of health insurance.

The primary link plays a crucial role in improving public health, early detection and treatment of diseases. Therefore, the Head of state pointed out the need for a gradual implementation of reforms in this direction with an in-depth study of the needs and requirements of our people, especially residents of remote areas.

Another reform in the health sector is public health insurance. Some work has already been started and preparations have been made in this regard.

It is proposed to introduce the system of state health insurance from October 1 this year in the city of Tashkent and Syrdarya region and from January 1, 2025, in the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

To this end, the information systems “Electronic Polyclinic” and “Electronic Hospital” will be implemented before the end of 2024. Medical staff will be trained in their use. The institutions will be equipped with the necessary equipment and network.

The importance of this system is that results-based funding methods will be applied to medicine.  The provision of medical services and the provision of medicines under insurance will be carried out at the expense of the state budget, with no additional charge to the population.

The public health insurance system is planned to be implemented in other regions before the end of 2026.
