A new system has been launched in Uzbekistan to combat childhood cancer.
Additionally, a system has been introduced to deliver medicines that patients previously had to come to the center to obtain, now through branches in the regions.
Comprehensive reforms are being implemented in Uzbekistan to strengthen the fight against oncological and oncohematological diseases among children. In accordance with Presidential Decree PQ-186 dated May 19, 2025, the national strategy for 2025–2030 has established key tasks, including early detection of diseases, shortening diagnosis times, and increasing treatment effectiveness.
This document is aimed at advancing pediatric oncology, hematology, and immunology to a new stage, expanding the coverage of specialized medical care, and introducing modern diagnostic and treatment methods.
Currently, treatment based on modern technologies has been implemented at the Scientific-Practical Medical Center for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology, and Immunology. Highly qualified foreign specialists have been engaged in the center's activities, and medical services are provided based on international standards. An individual approach is ensured for each child patient.
The center is currently supplied with medicines through the state budget, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the "Global Platform for the Treatment of Childhood Cancer" project implemented by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. These medicines are provided free of charge to all children who are citizens of Uzbekistan.
Furthermore, a system has been introduced to deliver medicines, which patients previously had to collect from the center, through regional branches. This process, carried out via special transport, strictly adheres to the quality and storage conditions of the medicines.
According to experts, these ongoing measures will serve to increase survival rates among children, enable early detection of diseases, and reduce mortality cases.
