New primary health care facilities commissioned in GBAO

As part of the working visit of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon to the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO), new primary health care institutions were put into operation in several cities and districts of the region after construction and major repairs. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of Tajikistan.

The opening ceremonies were held with the participation of the Minister of Health and Social Protection of the Population Jamoliddin Abdullozoda, representatives of the country's government, local authorities, as well as heads of the GBAO health department.

Among the opened facilities are medical centers in the villages of Djavshangoz, Yomchi and Spinz, located in the Roshtqala and Shugnon districts, as well as health care facilities in Darvaz, Rushan and Murghab. In the city of Khorog, a medical center in the Chukht district and the Reproductive Health Center have reopened after reconstruction.

The Minister of Health described the opening of modern medical institutions as an important gift from the President of the country for the National Unity Day. He emphasized that creating comfortable conditions for the work of doctors increases their responsibility for the quality of medical services, especially in remote and hard-to-reach areas.

The institutions are equipped with all the necessary medical equipment, which will significantly improve the availability and quality of medical care for the region's population. The ministry also instructed to strengthen preventive measures to reduce maternal and child mortality, increase immunization coverage, ensure monitoring of chronic diseases, and pay special attention to protecting the health of the elderly and people with disabilities.

Officials noted that the construction and equipping of new facilities became possible thanks to the ongoing support of the state in the field of healthcare and social development of the population of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region.
