A cooperation has emerged between the Migration Agency of Uzbekistan, the Swiss recruitment company 'Globogate', and the Slovak company 'Penta Hospitals International' in the form of a tripartite partnership.
'Penta Hospitals International' is one of the largest private medical networks in Central Europe. This network manages over 150 hospitals and about 100 care facilities. Nearly 25 thousand employees are employed within the corporation.
Recently, the corporation opened a high-tech hospital in the city of Bratislava, which is intended to serve approximately 1400 employees.
As part of a new project, a system for training doctors and mid-level medical staff for 'Penta Hospitals International' will be established directly in Uzbekistan. Under the program implemented jointly with 'Globogate', about 600 Uzbek nurses have already secured jobs in Germany. It is planned to expand this cooperation to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, and subsequently to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
The aircraft traveling on the Bishkek–Ush route was unable to take off due to a technical malfunction that occurred during the acceleration procedure. As a result of the incident, a temporary suspension of flights was announced at the airport.
According to information provided by JSC 'Kyrgyzstan Airports', during acceleration, one of the rear landing gear assemblies of the aircraft broke, leading to the aircraft tipping towards the left wing. There were only 187 people on board: 181 passengers, 2 pilots, and 4 flight attendants.
Passengers were evacuated through the emergency exit. Although there were no serious injuries, some passengers sustained minor injuries, such as cuts and bruises, and received medical assistance. Aviation fuel was spilled as a result of the incident, and fire services were working at the scene.
Since the aircraft remained on the runway, arrivals and departures at Manas Airport were temporarily halted. One passenger reported hearing a loud bang several minutes after the aircraft started moving, and the aircraft tipped to the left. He also noted panic in the cabin and a subsequent smell of kerosene. The flight attendants managed to calm the passengers and organize the evacuation.
The State Civil Aviation Agency is conducting an investigation into this case. JSC 'Kyrgyzstan Airports' stated that a commission may be formed to clarify all details of the incident.
An agreement was signed between the Atomic Energy Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzatom) and the Rosatom Technical Academy regarding cooperation in nuclear medicine and related fields.
The document was signed by Yuri Seleznev, Rector of the Rosatom Technical Academy, and Azim Ahmedkhojaev, Director of the Uzatom Agency. The main goal of the agreement is to develop the national infrastructure for nuclear medicine in Uzbekistan, train highly qualified personnel for the field, continuously improve the skills of specialists, and systematically establish the exchange of scientific and technical information.
Within the scope of cooperation, educational programs will be developed based on the national needs of Uzbekistan and other countries, as well as advanced international experience. This cooperation covers important areas such as the research and production of medical isotopes, radionuclide diagnostics and therapy, theranostics, radiation therapy, the creation, production, and clinical application of radiopharmaceuticals, as well as radiation safety.
Yuri Seleznev, Rector of the Rosatom Technical Academy, emphasized that the academy possesses extensive experience and unique competencies in nuclear technologies and their application outside of energy. He stated its readiness to offer its educational and scientific-methodological potential to train highly qualified specialists who can work with modern technologies compliant with international standards to develop nuclear medicine in Uzbekistan.
According to Azim Ahmedkhojaev, Director of the Uzatom Agency, developing nuclear medicine is one of the important ways to improve the healthcare system of Uzbekistan. He mentioned that the work on preparing a strategy for developing nuclear medicine has reached its final stage. This strategy is aimed at developing human resource capacity, improving the regulatory legal framework, introducing modern technologies, and strengthening the national infrastructure of the field.
Ahmedkhojaev stressed that this agreement is an important step in strengthening cooperation and implementing the defined tasks. It will not only expand cooperation in the field of education but also serve to form a comprehensive system for training and improving the skills of doctors, medical physicists, radiochemists, radiopharmacists, and engineering technical staff working in the field of nuclear medicine.
It should be noted that this agreement was signed during the 'Obninsk NEW' International Nuclear Industry Youth Forum held in the city of Obninsk, Russian Federation.
