Two-year training for mid-level medical personnel is being abolished in Uzbekistan in favor of higher education

The system for training mid-level medical personnel is changing in Uzbekistan, while the training of highly qualified nurses and medical workers with higher education is being expanded. Starting from the 2027/2028 academic year, the system of training mid-level medical personnel through two-year programs will be abolished.

According to the new decree signed by the president, additional financial incentives will be introduced for bachelor's graduates in the specialties 'nurse' and 'medical worker'. Master's graduates will receive double the bonus.

The current minimum wage (MHTEKM) is 1.36 million soums. If this amount is maintained, bachelors will receive 1.36 million soums monthly, and masters will receive 2.72 million soums as an additional payment.

New specializations will be introduced starting from the 2027/2028 academic year: 'Medical Support' based on 'Nursing' and 'Higher Medical Support' based on 'Higher Nursing'. Female graduates will be awarded the qualification 'nurse', and males will be awarded 'medical worker'.

The state order for the 'Higher Medical Support' specialization will increase by at least 20% annually until the 2030/2031 academic year. Additionally, joint educational programs will be created with master's programs and foreign higher education institutions in this field.

Thus, starting from the 2027/2028 academic year, enrollment in two-year programs for training mid-level medical personnel will cease. This will allow the system to gradually shift its focus towards training highly qualified specialists with higher education.

New pricing mechanism for liquefied gas is being introduced in Uzbekistan

The introduction of a new mechanism for determining the prices of liquefied gas is planned. The cost of the gas will be set based on economic indicators, but compensation for every kilogram will be provided for families in need of social support.

According to the proposals, a company named 'LPG-Trade' will be created as part of the charter capital of 'Hududgaztaʼminot'. This company will purchase liquefied gas through an exchange and then deliver it to the population according to the established procedure.

In parallel, an economically justified mechanism is planned to establish the retail price of liquefied gas. Compensation for every kilogram of gas purchased by the population requiring social protection will be paid.

As a result, state funds will be directed directly to needy consumers instead of being used as general subsidies.

There is also consideration of covering the difference that arises when supplying liquefied gas to social sphere facilities at exchange prices and selling it to the public at the established price, using funds from the republican budget.

It is planned to expand the participation of the private sector in this area. A pilot project involving the attraction of private operators for liquefied gas delivery will be implemented in the Andijan region.

Operators must possess the necessary licenses, permits, as well as qualified engineering and technical personnel. It is planned that there will be at least two operators working in each region, and mobile applications and online services will be launched for consumers.

Furthermore, tasks related to the infrastructure of the NPP being built in Jizzakh and the adjacent settlement were discussed.
