Uzbekistan Sets Up Digital Care Route for Children with Cancer

In Uzbekistan, a digital route for children with oncological diseases has been set up on the basis of the unified national medical platform. Vadim Vasilyev, a representative of Uzinfocom, the company developing the country's digital healthcare platform, announced this at the II International Congress on Pediatric Oncology and Hematology in Samarkand.

Vasilyev said more than 38 million citizens already have personal electronic medical records. Over 4,000 medical organizations are connected to the system, and about nine million electronic prescriptions have been issued.

The digital route covers every stage, from initial examination at a family polyclinic to treatment at a republican center and subsequent rehabilitation. Each step is recorded in the system and transmitted to the platform's core. «That is why we can see at which stage each child is and where he is. We do not lose a single patient,» Vasilyev stressed. He said the path from the first visit to an approved treatment plan takes about 14 working days, and complex cases are sent to the republican center, where additional specialists are involved.
