"Yes, foreigners living in Uzbekistan have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the region, but generally the public healthcare system is well-equipped and staffed with experienced professionals. The government has invested heavily in modernizing the healthcare system, and there are a number of hospitals and clinics throughout the country that provide quality care. In addition, the government provides free or low-cost healthcare to citizens and foreigners alike," said another expat in Uzbekistan.
