Healthcare

Uzbekistan’s healthcare system is predominantly state- run and structured across three administrative levels: national, regional, and district or municipal. Public health services are financed primarily through national tax revenues. In recent years, the Government of Uzbekistan has placed a strong emphasis on health sector reform and modernization. Rising demand for quality healthcare is being driven by sustained economic growth, demographic expansion, accelerating urbanization, and increasing per capita income.

To catalyse foreign investment in the healthcare sector,Uzbekistan is actively advancing the use of public -private partnerships (PPPs). The government is particularly focused on mobilizing private sector participation in high - priority areas such as oncology screening and treatment, as well as the development and operation of multifunctional medical facilities.

The sector offers a range of fiscal incentives designed to attract investment and enhance service delivery. Medical institutions that derive at least 90% of their revenue from healthcare services (excluding cosmetology and dentistry) are eligible for preferential treatment, including full exemption from corporate income tax and value-added tax (VAT), relief from property tax obligations, and duty-free importation of medical  equipment. These measures are part of a broader policy framework aimed at improving access to quality healthcare while fostering private sector engagement.
