USAID provides equipment to Jizzak Center of Phthisiology and Pulmonology

AKIPRESS.COM - USAID handed over essential medical equipment to healthcare facilities in Jizzak to assist the region in its fight against tuberculosis (TB). Representatives of the USAID Mission to Uzbekistan, the National Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases Center, and the Jizzak Regional Health Administration participated in the handover.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the Ministry of Health, USAID, and other international partners, Uzbekistan has made great strides in reducing TB cases and associated deaths, but multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) continues to be a significant issue in the country.

The equipment, valued at approximately $75,000, included electronic thermometers, stethoscopes, optical equipment, and pulse oximeters. These instruments will help healthcare providers in the region deliver efficient and timely care, provide rapid diagnosis, and treat patients with chronic illnesses.

The medical equipment was donated by a U.S. manufacturer, Welch Allyn, through USAID’s “Eliminating TB in Central Asia” activity. The equipment will be used at the Djizzak Regional Center of TB and Lung Diseases, TB dispensaries, hospitals and outpatient facilities in the Djizzak region.
