Recently, advertising promoting biologically active supplements, ointments, creams, balms, and mineral waters as remedies for various diseases has been increasing in mass media and social networks.
In response to this, the Competition Committee emphasized that these products cannot be promoted as medicinal drugs.
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.
Special attention is paid in the country to elevating the value of man, strengthening interethnic cohesion, and creating an atmosphere of hospitality. Spiritual and educational events are regularly held aimed at strengthening peaceful coexistence of various nationalities and ethnicities, as well as affirming the principles of mutual respect and solidarity.
As part of these noble goals, a festive event was organized in the 'National Unity' park in the Khatirchi district on the occasion of the International Day of Friendship, which is celebrated on July 30.
The event, organized with the aim of widely promoting high values such as interethnic cohesion, mutual respect, solidarity, and friendship, as well as strengthening the atmosphere of unity among citizens, included cultural and educational performances, the performance of national songs, artistic compositions, and scenes celebrating the ideas of friendship and hospitality.
Participants noted that equal rights and opportunities have been created in the country for all representatives of different nations and ethnicities, and highly appreciated the efforts directed towards preserving their national culture and language. It was emphasized that such spiritual and educational actions are invaluable in forming a sense of love for the Motherland, interethnic respect, hospitality, and friendship in the hearts of the younger generation. After all, progress, prosperity, and rise are possible only in a country where peace and stability prevail.
The idea of strengthening mutual respect and solidarity in society, oriented towards human interests, is also embodied in the center of the large-scale reforms currently being carried out in the country. This event, dedicated to the International Day of Friendship, serves this noble purpose, contributing to the further strengthening of peace and a friendly atmosphere in the country.
Food safety is one of the most important aspects of protecting human health and the nation's gene pool. Unfortunately, some individuals do not hesitate to endanger people's lives and health for a faster increase in income. The latest case identified in the Bukhara province once again demonstrated the potentially harmful consequences of such illegal activities.
According to the Department for Combating Economic Crimes, during operational measures conducted by employees of the Kogon Department of the Department and other law enforcement agencies, the activity of an underground workshop producing oil unfit for consumption was stopped.
It was established that on the territory of a farm owned by the head of 'E.' farm in the village of 'Khoja Yakshanba' of the Kogon district, oil was produced by pressing using outdated equipment. Production took place under conditions that absolutely did not meet sanitation and safety requirements, leading to the output of inedible oil.
As a result of the inspection, 102 kilograms of inedible oil, 351 kilograms of raw materials, 26.9 tons of cotton, two oil pressing machines, as well as other products and equipment used in production, were officially seized from this illegal workshop. Experts emphasize that food prepared in unsanitary conditions without proper control can pose a serious threat to human health, causing various intoxications and severe diseases. Therefore, decisive measures against such illegal activities are of great importance for protecting public health.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated regarding this incident based on Article 186-2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan—production or handling of products derived from raw materials in violation of the law. Investigative actions are ongoing. Authors remind us that attempts to enrich oneself at the expense of people's health are never justified, and the timely uncovering of such illegal activities not only ensures the rule of law but also protects the lives and health of hundreds of people, reminding every producer of the need to strictly follow laws and responsibility requirements.
