17 сентября 2024
A policy dialogue to present the National Action Plan for Ensuring Public Health Security in Uzbekistan (2024–2028) will be held on September 18–19, 2024, in Tashkent. The action plan, developed by a working group comprising coordinators from various relevant ministries and departments responsible for implementing the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005), will be discussed by representatives from these ministries and departments.
The National Action Plan, designed for a five-year period (2024–2028), is based on the Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan (2022-2026), the 2022 Joint External Evaluation (JEE), and the 2022 IHR States Parties Self-Assessment Annual Report (SPAR). Its strategic goal is to enhance Uzbekistan's preparedness to respond more effectively to health emergencies by strengthening the core capacities outlined in the IHR (2005).
“Collaborating with colleagues from relevant ministries, departments, and the World Health Organization has led to the creation of a comprehensive National Action Plan for Public Health Security. However, much work remains to ensure we are better prepared for emerging health threats and challenges,” said Dr Bakhodir Yusupaliev, the Chairman of the Committee for Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare and Public Health.
“The National Action Plan for Health Security is a crucial instrument for uniting sectors and stakeholders to fortify Uzbekistan’s public health system and respond effectively to health emergencies. This Plan underscores the government’s commitment to building a resilient and sustainable health system for the people of Uzbekistan”, - stated Dr Asheena Khalakdina, WHO Representative in Uzbekistan.
The action plan was developed with technical assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and financial support from USAID.
