“From now on, no one will interfere in the activities of the ministry, its personnel policy. Chief physicians, doctors or other medical workers will not be involved in any work unusual for them”, said Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the meeting dedicated to measures of improving the primary healthcare system.
The duties of a general practitioner of a rural medical center include diagnostics and treatment of 146 types of diseases, primary diagnostics and referrals for 213 types of diseases, as well as a wide range of tasks for rehabilitation, medical examination and prevention.
President noted the need for completely revising the system of medical care in rural medical centers and family polyclinics, the tasks and functions of doctors and mid-level workers.
The primary task is to transform general practitioners into family doctors on the basis of advanced foreign experience. Medical teams for therapy, pediatrics, obstetrics and patronage will be organized to facilitate their activities. These teams will work with their assigned families on the basis of a specially compiled map. The health status of the population will be assessed and an electronic database created. Tablet computers and mobile diagnostic tools will be provided to medical teams.
Constant medical supervision will be established for children under 5, pregnant women, women of reproductive age and over 35, as well as people over 40. They will undergo regular screening examinations. Individual patronage will be established for people in the high-risk group.
From now on, referrals for free medical care and prescriptions for free drugs will be issued by family doctors.
