The
World Bank is helping Uzbekistan establish a health care system
that is accessible, affordable and efficient. It is also helping
reduce avoidable illnesses by improving poor people’s access
to essential health care. For example, a World Bank project has
helped improve the quality of primary health care in five regions
of Uzbekistan. Close to 300 primary care centers, serving 3.5 million
people, have received new equipment. Also, the World Bank is financing
training of medical professionals and advising on health care finance. |
