The health of the population is considered the most important value determining the development of society and the future of the nation. Within the framework of Uzbekistan's state policy, priority areas include ensuring high-quality and modern medical services for the population, fundamental reform of the healthcare system, strengthening the material and technical base of medical institutions, and widespread implementation of digital technologies.
To deepen reforms in the healthcare system of Bukhara region, accelerate digital transformation processes, and disseminate best practices, a regional exhibition-seminar was organized at the Olotsi District Medical Association.
Leaders of medical associations from all 11 districts and cities of the region, their deputies, senior nurses, coordinators, as well as specialists in information and communication technologies, took part in this prestigious event. The seminar became an important platform for exchanging views, analyzing practical results achieved in the healthcare system, and popularizing modern approaches and advanced management experience.
During the event, participants were familiarized with large-scale construction, reconstruction, and modernization works carried out at the Olotsi District Medical Association in subsequent years. Particular attention was drawn to the acquisition and commissioning of modern medical equipment worth 2 billion 200 million sums to strengthen the material and technical base of the institution. This is of great importance for ensuring quick and accurate diagnosis for patients, improving the quality of treatment, and easing the work of medical personnel.
Furthermore, thanks to winning the 'Open Budget' project, the exterior of the institution was completely reconstructed and received a completely new look in accordance with the requirements of modern architecture and sanitation. Works on landscaping and greening the institution's territory, as well as all amenities created for patients and medical workers, made a great impression on the participants.
One of the key areas of the seminar was the digitalization of the medical field. Participants were thoroughly familiarized with the activities of the newly established Situational Center. It was emphasized that this center creates opportunities for remote analysis of primary healthcare institutions' activities, monitoring service quality, maintaining an electronic database, and making operational management decisions.
Experts expressed opinions and suggestions regarding the effective use of information systems, improving the exchange of electronic medical documents, eliminating some problems arising in digital medicine, as well as the phased introduction of artificial intelligence and modern digital solutions.
Within the framework of the seminar, issues of improving the quality of medical services provided to the population, early disease detection, strengthening preventive work, improving the activities of the primary healthcare level, and expanding inter-institutional cooperation were also widely discussed.
Leaders of district and city medical associations received important recommendations on implementing the effective experience realized in Olotsi district in other regions.
At the end of the seminar, participants highly praised the results achieved in modernizing the healthcare system in Olotsi district, updating infrastructure, implementing digital management, and creating a comfortable medical environment for the population. Specific tasks were defined for the wide dissemination of best practices in other regions of the region.
Large-scale reforms are being carried out in the healthcare system under the President's leadership, which contribute to strengthening the health of the people, raising the quality of medical services to international standards, and actively developing digital medicine. This exhibition-seminar, held in Olotsi district, is a practical embodiment of these beneficial reforms and is of particular importance as one of the important steps towards ensuring quality medical care for every citizen, as well as for popularizing best practices and introducing innovative approaches in the industry.
Over the past ten years, significant changes have taken place in all spheres of the country, including the approach to labor, improvement of working conditions, and raising the social status of representatives of various sectors.
The importance of a healthy social environment is emphasized. Society demonstrates imbalance if every segment of the population is not treated with consideration for its dignity. In this context, the social protection system is recognized as one of the most developed areas currently. Thanks to the new policy of New Uzbekistan, based on the principle of human value, equality and transparency are growing in society. This is the result of hard work and strong political will.
Previously, people with disabilities lived in isolation, feeling forgotten. Today, they are provided not only with attention but also with opportunities to enhance their abilities and contribute to the development of society. Even persons with disabilities now hold responsible positions in prestigious organizations, which is achieved through phased reforms.
Firstly, the National Agency for Social Protection was established, which took control of people with disabilities. Furthermore, the Center for Social Services for People in Need of Social Protection was founded under this agency, ensuring systematic coverage of vulnerable segments of the population. This is evident in the care provided to people in severe emotional crisis, as well as to women and children. Additionally, the disability determination system was radically modernized: it was completely converted to an electronic format, which allowed the elimination of excessive bureaucratic hurdles and guaranteed the prevention of third-party interference.
Thus, one of the key achievements of New Uzbekistan is the progress in the social protection system, which contributes to the formation of an inclusive environment in society. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stressed that instead of providing material assistance to people with disabilities, they should be actively involved in the labor market and provided with favorable conditions. He noted that the most important thing for people with disabilities is the provision of opportunities, which in turn fuels hope and belief in the future.
State policy in the field of food security pays special attention to ensuring the population with food products. In this regard, the active development of the livestock industry, the introduction of modern and innovative methods, and the stimulation of enterprises specializing in this area are extremely relevant tasks.
During his visit to Namangan region on June 23, the President familiarized himself with the activities of the 'Namangan Sheep Farming Cluster' in Turakurgan district. The President emphasized the significance of this enterprise for the development of animal husbandry, ensuring the domestic market with quality meat, and increasing employment, and gave an instruction for its popularization.
This project became possible due to the broad opportunities established in the President's decree of January 29, 2020, 'On additional measures to support the livestock industry.' Within the cluster, modern logistics services, veterinary and service branches, as well as retail points for direct product sales will be created, which will ensure the formation of a complete and continuous cluster chain.
Utilizing the extensive opportunities and benefits provided for livestock farming in the country, LLC 'Namangan Sheep Farming Cluster' was founded in 2026 in the village of Kumidon, Turakurgan district, under the leadership of livestock breeder Ayzamjon Usmonov on a 10-hectare plot. The cluster, with a total value of 35 million dollars, began stable operation with the goal of realizing a noble intention—supplying people's tables with affordable and high-quality meat.
This large three-stage project initially included work on building and equipping five hectares of land, and plans for the same area are planned in the near future. Currently, more than one hundred employees in the cluster take care of over 1500 animals according to modern requirements. It is planned to acclimatize the 'Arashan', 'Hisor', and 'Adelbay' breeds, imported from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, which have high productivity, to the local climate. By the end of the year, the number of jobs should reach 280, and the livestock population should reach 50 thousand heads.
According to the entrepreneur, during the meeting with the President, it was instructed to transform the cluster into a holding company. Thus, the task has been set to increase the livestock population to 300 thousand heads by the end of 2027. Thanks to the introduction of modern breeding technologies and a scientific approach in the cluster, there is an opportunity to significantly increase both the volume and quality of meat production.
According to the project's technological indicators, by intensive rearing of sheep weighing 40-50 kilograms, imported from abroad, over three months, their weight can be increased to 100 kilograms, which will allow for up to 60-70 kilograms of pure meat from each sheep. As a result, productivity will exceed traditional livestock farming by 45-50 percent, and after the full launch of the project, the production of 35-40 thousand tons of high-quality meat will be ensured annually in the Namangan region.
The head of the 'Namangan Sheep Farming Cluster', MChZh Ayzamjon Usmonov, noted that the current price of beef is 130 thousand sums per kilogram, and mutton is 160 thousand sums. The goal is to reduce these prices by 20 percent. For this, 40 meat stores are open in the region, and in the future, meat will be supplied to markets across the country. Additionally, starting next year, the production of 50 thousand tons of organic fertilizers is planned with the involvement of advanced industries, and 200 thousand tons of feed.
In conclusion, within the cluster structure, modern logistics services, veterinary and service units, as well as retail points for direct product sales will be created, which will lead to the formation of a complete and uninterrupted cluster chain.
