Health systems in transition : Uzbekistan

3.3.3 Pooling of funds 
In Uzbekistan, the government acts as the agency that pools and allocates public 
funding for health care. There is a distinct divide between national (republican) 
and local (
viloyat
, 
tuman
 or city) governments with regard to health financing. 
The national government is responsible for the financing of specialized 
medical centres, research institutes, emergency care centres, and national-level 
(republican-level) hospitals. Local governments are responsible for expenditures 
related to other hospitals, primary care units, sanitary-epidemiological units 
and ambulance services (Table 3.3).
