    USAID launches project 'Tuberculosis-free Uzbekistan'

    USAID launches project 'Tuberculosis-free Uzbekistan'

    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in collaboration with Uzbekistan's Ministry of Health and Abt Associates, is launching a five-year initiative called "Tuberculosis-Free Uzbekistan," aimed at making vital tuberculosis services more accessible throughout the country.

    To address the persistent issue of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Uzbekistan, this project will receive an $18mn investment.

    According to Gazeta.uz, Uzbekistan continues to grapple with a high burden of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, which poses a significant threat to the nation's public healthcare system, the well-being of its people, and its overall economic development.

    In 2022, 8% of newly reported tuberculosis cases in Uzbekistan showed resistance to two of the most commonly used and effective tuberculosis medications, as per the Uzbekistan Ministry of Health's data.

    USAID is at the forefront of global efforts by the U.S. government to combat tuberculosis, guided by a global strategy for 2023-2030. As the world's leading bilateral donor, USAID utilizes innovative approaches and research to accelerate progress in eradicating tuberculosis.

    Over the past 30 years, the U.S. government has provided Uzbekistan with over $155mn in assistance for healthcare, with nearly $60 mn of that funding dedicated to combating tuberculosis.

    Earlier, Daryo reported that on October 23, 2023, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan met with Samantha Power, Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) during a ministerial-level gathering between Central Asian countries and the USA. The discussions primarily focused on the following key areas:

    1. Healthcare: Uzbekistan and USAID aim to enhance healthcare infrastructure, improve healthcare accessibility, and enhance the country's capacity to respond to health challenges.

    2. Education: The partnership seeks to expand access to quality education, foster educational innovation, and encourage lifelong learning for Uzbekistan's youth.

    3. Green Energy: Collaborative projects are dedicated to shifting towards clean and renewable energy sources, aligning with global sustainability goals.

    4. Agribusiness: Efforts aim to boost agricultural productivity, ensure food security, and promote sustainable practices for economic development.

    5. S5+1 Summit Agreements: Discussions included the implementation of agreements from the "S5+1" summit, emphasizing Uzbekistan and the USA's commitment to addressing global challenges and fostering international cooperation.

    This partnership promises positive change for Uzbekistan and the region, making it a topic of international interest.
