According to the Ministry of Health, starting from 2026, the "Online Doctor" service will be launched in the emergency medical assistance system in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Through this new platform, citizens will have the opportunity to receive medical advice remotely in emergency situations. This system will strengthen cooperation between emergency response centers, hospitals, and polyclinics, and help make medical decisions more quickly.
This project is being implemented within the framework of the healthcare digitalization program. In recent years, the efficiency of medical services has significantly increased.
To date, 2,400 dispatchers have undergone special training. As a result, delays in ambulance arrival have decreased from 1.1% to 0.3%.
Additionally, the response time to calls has been reduced from 25–30 minutes to 10–15 minutes. Over the past eight years, the number of emergency aid points has increased from 818 to 1,600, and the number of brigades has grown to 2,800.
The funds spent on medicines for each call have also significantly increased, from 750 soms to 11,800 soms. According to experts, the "Online Doctor" service will improve the efficiency of medical assistance and expand the possibilities of saving human lives.
