Last December, the Uzbek head of State, in a message to Parliament and the people, stated that new priorities require a revision of the Uzbekistan-2030 strategy, approved in September 2023. In this regard, the text released introduces a series of additions to Mirziyoyev’s strategy.

Earlier this month, representatives of the Atomic Energy Agency of Uzbekistan (UZATOM) and experts from Rosatom’s Construction Technologies division agreed to jointly develop a roadmap for the advancement of nuclear medicine in Tashkent.

Specifically, the plan is to equip the Uzbek atomic health institution with positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) equipment, as well as a cyclotron, a radiopharmaceutical laboratory, a gamma knife, and a cyber knife.

In June of last year, UZATOM and the Russian Berezin Medical Institute signed an agreement on the basic conditions for implementing the project to establish a Nuclear Medicine Center in Uzbekistan.
