A ceremony for the handover of medical equipment took place in the Bukhara region. It was received by the Bukhara regional branch of the Republican Scientific Joint Center for Emergency Medical Care. This was reported by the Embassy of Japan in Uzbekistan.

The handover took place within the framework of the Japanese program "Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects." The total value of the equipment amounted to approximately 111,720 US dollars.

The ceremony was held on September 3. It was attended by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Uzbekistan, Hirata Kenji, and the Deputy Minister of Health of Uzbekistan, Sherzod Mukhamedov.

In addition, the event was attended by the head of the Bukhara regional health department, Mukhsin Radjabov, and the director of the branch, Shukhrat Khaidarov. Other medical staff involved in the project also took part in the ceremony.

Thanks to cooperation with Japan, the hospital received a gynecological endoscopic equipment set. It was also provided with an arthroscopic set. This will allow for more accurate diagnostics. In addition, high-quality surgical operations will become possible.

According to the embassy, Japan attaches great importance to the concept of "Human Security." It aims to create a society where every individual can live happily and with dignity. In Uzbekistan, this program has been active since 1995.

Within its framework, 428 projects have been implemented in the fields of healthcare, education, and agriculture. Of these, 114 projects are in the healthcare sector. For the Bukhara region, the current project is already the 11th in this field under the program.

The Government of Japan has declared its intention to continue cooperation. It concerns improving access to high-quality medical services in Uzbekistan.
