FEATURES OF INTRODUCTION OF COMPULSORY HEALTH INSURANCE IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

In recent years, Uzbekistan has been implementing measures aimed at the phased introduction of the mechanism of compulsory medical insurance (CHI). The availability of quality medical services to the population is an urgent problem not only for Uzbekistan, but also for other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The CHI mechanism is already successfully operating in the Russian Federation, Kyrgyzstan and some other countries. The introduction of an effective compulsory medical insurance mechanism into healthcare will create conditions for improving the quality of medical services and the competitiveness of domestic human capital, creating favorable opportunities for its reproduction, and hence for the sustainable development of the national economy in the long term.
