The Ministry of Health has signed a $300mn agreement to develop a modern multidisciplinary hospital in the Fergana region, marking one of the country’s largest healthcare public-private partnership (PPP) projects to date.



The agreement covers the full cycle of the project, including design, financing, construction, equipping and long-term maintenance of an 800-bed medical facility to be built in line with international standards.
The deal was signed by Health Minister Asilbek Khudayarov, President and CEO of Vision International Investment Company Omar Al-Midani, and CEO of KOS Construction Mekanik Elektrik Fe LLC Subutay Gyuzel.
The private consortium comprises Saudi Arabia’s Vision International Investment Company and Uzbekistan-based KOS Construction Mekanik Elektrik Fe LLC, which will jointly deliver the project.
The structure of the project was developed with strategic support from the International Finance Corporation and financial backing from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

According to officials, the total investment is estimated at around $300mn, with construction expected to take 36 months. The ministry said the facility could become the largest healthcare complex in Central Asia implemented under a PPP model.
The planned hospital will consolidate five existing specialised institutions in the Fergana region into a single modern complex. It is expected to provide advanced tertiary-level services, including cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, organ transplantation, nephrology and orthopaedics.
The complex will also include intensive care and emergency units with 160 beds, alongside full auxiliary clinical services.
Authorities voiced that the project will introduce advanced diagnostic and treatment infrastructure, improve efficiency in healthcare delivery and reduce the need for patients to seek treatment abroad.
