The international exhibition company Iteca Exhibitions continues the spring season with the 25th Anniversary International Exhibition "Healthcare – TIHE 2021", which is held from June 9 to 11 on the territory of the "Uzexpocentre" National Exhibition Complex in the central pavilion.
Traditionally, the main focus of the exhibition is a healthy population, and the protection of public health has been and will always be one of the main priorities of Uzbekistan. Demographic indicators, national health indicators, healthcare financing, medical reforms and the prospects of this industry are constantly in the focus of the President and the Government.
More and more attention is being paid to the health sector, attracting foreign investors to invest in this part of the public sector. Health spending continues to grow faster than economic growth, driven by growing demand for health services and the government's willingness to invest in new facilities and make up for previous shortfalls. Over the past three years, more than 160 regulatory documents have been adopted to reform the healthcare system. As a result, important changes are taking place in all parts of the healthcare system. Starting from primary medical care and ending with specialised centres, new technologies are being introduced everywhere, and the achievements of world science and medicine are widely used. These changes are based primarily on the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On comprehensive measures to radically improve the healthcare system of the Republic of Uzbekistan". This decree also approved the Concept of Development of the healthcare system of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2019-2025. The continuation of consistent work on the reform of the healthcare system is one of the strategic tasks of today.
The rate of demand for pharmaceutical products in Uzbekistan is growing every year, more than 80% of which is imported. The main importing countries are Russia, China, India and Ukraine. In addition, the government of Uzbekistan is actively engaging foreign partners to create a joint pharmaceutical production and medical equipment.
Healthcare has become one of the largest sectors in Uzbekistan in terms of income and employment. The industry is growing at a tremendous pace thanks to increased coverage, services, and increased spending by both public and private players.
Today, healthcare is a cutting-edge industry around the world. The coronavirus pandemic now facing the global community has brought unprecedented attention to the current state of medicine. And holding exhibitions dedicated to healthcare today is more important than ever.
TIHE, the first international exhibition of independent Uzbekistan, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and will be the first professional international industry exhibition after a long pause related to the pandemic.
Over the years, the exhibition has become the largest showcase of the achievements of scientific and practical medicine, which is traditionally attended by experts and world leaders of the industry, presenting their latest technologies and innovations. For many years, TIHE has served as a business platform for establishing communication links between manufacturers and practitioners, thereby contributing to improving the efficiency of the healthcare system in Uzbekistan.
