Last updated on May 08, 2023
Summary: The quality of medical care in Uzbekistan is generally considered to be lower than in the United States. Emergency services are available, but may not be as reliable or as well-equipped as those in the US. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 103 or 112.
How are healthcare services Uzbekistan?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Uzbekistan, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Uzbekistan are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens of Uzbekistan. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with a focus on preventive care and primary care services. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Uzbekistan can use the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. In addition, many expats opt to use private healthcare services, which are often more expensive but offer a higher quality of care," commented one expat living in Uzbekistan.
