Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Ministry of Health announces the start of another health campaign. Thus, from 1 August to 1 September 2023, Uzbekistan will host the "Month of health of the older generation." This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health.

During this period, representatives of the older generation will undergo in-depth medical examinations by qualified doctors in their regions of residence.

What is the purpose of this health promotion?

It should be noted that today about 3 million 200 thousand people over 55 years old live in our country. Of course, in order to restore their health, it is extremely important to provide them with quality medical services in a timely manner.

Therefore, within the framework of this action, based on the results of examinations, with the support of the state, measures will be taken to restore and strengthen their health.

To do this, first of all, a list of representatives of the older generation will be formed who will undergo medical examinations, after which they will be divided into appropriate groups based on age, gender and health status.

Then they will undergo preventive and in-depth examinations under the supervision of special medical teams.

According to the results of medical examinations:

- a group of patients with acute and chronic diseases will be treated in primary care day hospitals on an outpatient basis, and those in need of inpatient care will be referred to medical institutions of the district, city and regional level;

- Patients in need of high-tech specialized medical care will be given preferential referrals to regional and republican institutions.

In addition, medical teams will organize field medical examinations in remote and border areas.

We remind you that at the initiative of the Ministry of Health, several health months have already been organized throughout the country this year.

As part of these health promotions, agricultural workers and their families, young people, school teachers and kindergarten teachers underwent medical examinations, as a result of which measures were taken to restore and improve their health.
