The 'Green City' Project: An Important Step Towards Ecological Sustainability and a Prosperous Future

Yozovon, located in the central districts of the Fergana Valley, possesses a unique climate and geographical zone. Livestock farming is also developed among the sand dunes. Thanks to the picturesque landscapes in the region, there are more than ten ponds where famous carp is grown, which is in demand among consumers in neighboring provinces.

Initially, fishing could have been the driving force for the area, but the development of the industry was hindered by problems with feed supply.

The Chinese company 'HUALONG SILIAO' studied the needs and demand for aquaculture in Yozovon and built a plant that produces 30 thousand tons of feed annually, investing $10 million in it. The plant has already been commissioned and has started shipping its first products to local farms.

Company head Jasurbek Ikromjonov reported that they produce five types of products, which differ depending on the type and size of the fish. 80 tons of feed are prepared on each shift at the plant. The product includes flour, fish, chicken meat, soy, corn, rice, and millet.

Co-founder of 'HUALONG SILIAO', Joe Bing, noted that the produced feed has medicinal properties, helping to cleanse the fish of various parasites. Furthermore, this feed does not sink in the water, meaning that one hundred percent of the provided feed is consumed by the fish. Previously, the previous feeds decomposed in the water, and 15-20% settled before the fish could eat them.

The plant's products are continuously sent to customers. The unique characteristics of this feed attract aquaculture farmers and enterprises from remote provinces.

Jasurbek Ikromjonov added that currently, special vitamin, medicinal, and antibacterial feeds for fish, as well as feeds against various parasitic diseases, are being produced. The finished products are delivered to Samarkand, Khorezm, and Jizzakh. The main goal for next year is to start exporting products to foreign countries. The company is located in the Fergana region and is currently the only enterprise in Central Asia in this field.

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.

Thanks to large-scale reforms in the healthcare sector initiated by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the quality of medical services has reached a completely new level. Efforts are focused on strengthening primary healthcare, expanding opportunities for modern diagnosis and treatment of the population, implementing digital medicine, equipping institutions with high-tech equipment, and improving staff qualifications, and these efforts are now yielding tangible results.

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.
