President speaks about future prospects for medicine of Karakalpakstan

All the modern medical services available in Tashkent will also be established in Nukus, medical workers in remote villages will be given a special bonus of up to 5 million soums. Shavkat Mirziyoev said this at a meeting with voters from Karakalpakstan.

According to the presidential candidate, a new building will be built for the branch of the Oncology and Radiology Center in Karakalpakstan and will be fully equipped with modern equipment. A hostel will be built on its territory where relatives of patients will temporarily live.

From next year, 200% monthly premium will be paid in Takhtakupir, Chimbay, Karauzak, Buzatov, Shumanay, Kungirot. It is noted that doctors are not going to these districts because of the 100% increase.

Also, all qualified medical workers working in remote villages in Karakalpakstan will be given a special bonus of up to 5 million soums.

"Only for Karakalpakstan, I think it will be a fair thing if we exempt the costs of inpatient treatment of the population from income tax," Mirziyoyev said.

When residents entered in the social register come to Tashkent city or another region for treatment on the basis of a warrant, they will be fully reimbursed for air and railway expenses.

At the same time, these costs of entrepreneurs who sponsored Karakalpak children for high-tech operations are deducted from the tax collection base.
