PEOPLE IN ENSURING SOCIAL WELFARE IN UZBEKISTAN PRIORITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL CULTURE DIRECTIONS AND PROSPECTS

The article identifies priority directions for developing the health culture of the population on the basis of Uzbekistan's current strategic documents. The core research problem is that priority directions are usually listed in the literature without specifying the criterion that makes them priorities. A four-filter criterion for justifying priority is proposed and applied to national material. The analysis of prospects shows that the unified digital medical platform, the family doctor system and the cancer registry being introduced under the «Uzbekistan – 2030» strategy make it possible, for the first time, to measure the effectiveness of health culture work through behavioural indicators.
