Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Minister of Health of Uzbekistan Amrillo Inoyatov held a meeting with a visiting delegation led by President of FUJIFILM Healthcare Turkey Keitaro So, visiting our country.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was a presentation of the capabilities of modern medical equipment from this world-famous company, including mammographs, magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomographs of the latest generation.

As noted, in the process of transforming the healthcare system of our country, there is a high need for such innovative diagnostic equipment.

For example, mammographs play an important role in the early and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death in women. That is why the UN launched a global initiative to reduce mortality from this cancer by 2.5 percent annually until 2040. This will help save the lives of 2.5 million women.

At the end of the meeting, an agreement was reached to provide all district and city hospitals in our country with stationary mammographs produced by this company.
