The International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Republic of Uzbekistan have recently initiated a collaborative effort to introduce a new project to establish multi-purpose clinics in various regions. As stated on the organization's official website, the agreement was formally signed on May 17 during the visit of Uzbekistan’s Minister of Health, Amrillo Inoyatov, to the United States.
Under the new initiative, three hospitals will be constructed in the Samarkand, Jizzakh, and Kashkadarya regions through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. The previous dispensary system utilized specialized clinics for different ailments, resulting in high costs and complexities for patients with multiple diagnoses. The new plan aims to address these issues by consolidating services into one centralized location, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
The hospitals will employ modern facilities and prioritize patient care. According to Linda Rudo Munyengeterwa, Director of IFC's PPP Transaction Advisory and Corporate Finance, this project will provide opportunities to enhance medical accessibility and optimize public expenditure.
