Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — A Plasma Center has opened in Tashkent, marking a significant step in addressing the shortage of blood and its components, a critical issue in Uzbekistan until recently.

This shortage was particularly acute in emergency situations, where delays in medical care occurred due to the lack of blood supply.

The new Plasma Center is an important investment project aimed at enhancing the country’s medical infrastructure. It is unique not only for Uzbekistan but also for the entire Central Asian region, being built to European standards and equipped with advanced technologies.

The Center has implemented the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) system, and state-of-the-art equipment was sourced from the UK and Italy, ensuring the highest quality and safety in the collection and processing of plasma.
