access to health, education, water resources, and sanitation.
Today, in Uzbekistan, the rural population, which does not have an adequate source of income
and is low-income, makes up about 12-15% and covers 4-5 million of the country’s population
[2]. In order to reduce the rates of poverty in the country, it is seen not only through pensions and
financial assistance, but also as a way to solve these problems by creating greater opportunities
for entrepreneurship in remote areas of the republic, creating new jobs.
In this regard, in order to provide social support to the population of the country in 2017-2020,
more than 40 decrees and resolutions of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev on
social assistance were adopted. Among them is the adoption of the Resolution of the President of
the Republic of Uzbekistan dated March 26, 2020 No PP-4653 “On the organization of the
Ministry of Economic Development and Poverty Reduction of the Republic of Uzbekistan and
its system organizations” [3]and Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated
March 26, 2020 “On measures to radically update the state policy on economic development and
poverty reduction” [4]
In addition, in connection with the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in
Uzbekistan, the development of the Poverty Reduction Program, which is a priority area of social
development on the basis of the state program for the implementation of the Strategy Actions for
2017-2021, as well as the adoption of the task is urgent due to post pandemic tendencies in the
world which is rapidly change.

tasks in this area are the 3-goal of the SDGs, which is in harmony with the goals of ensuring
health and well-being, an indicator of ensuring a healthy lifestyle and contributing to the well-
being of a person of all ages.
According to research, the number of deaths among children under the age of five in the world
today has dropped from 12.7 million to 6.3 million.That is, in 2013, 17,000 fewer children died
every day than in 1990. Since 1990, maternal mortality has dropped by almost half [5]. However,
despite the increase in public health and well-being in recent years, there are still shortcomings in
the use of health services.It is noteworthy that SDG’s promotion of a healthy lifestyle and the
well-being of people is an important goal in the development of society.
Today in Uzbekistan, the priorities of increasing the role and prestige of doctors in social life,
their financial support and improving working conditions are becoming increasingly important.
In particular, the provision of state medical institutions and the population with medicines by
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev is 1.3 times more than in 2018, or about 1.5 trillion soums. It is
also planned to spend 1.1 trillion soums from the state budget for the construction and repair of
281 medical institutions in the country, and then to introduce modern management mechanisms
in the management of 17 specialized scientific and practical medical institutions. Several modern
medical centers are being built in the Republic of Uzbekistan including in the regions and
districts.
In the implementation of these reforms, the law “Оn compulsory medical insurance” adopted in
2019 covers such tasks as the adoption and implementation of an online monitoring system for
the Real cost of medicines.
