Abstract

The implementation of e-health in the Republic of Uzbekistan represents a significant step toward modernizing the healthcare system and improving access to quality medical services. E-health involves the use of digital technologies to manage and deliver health services, improve healthcare delivery, and ensure better patient outcomes. This article explores the development of e-health initiatives in Uzbekistan, highlighting key policies, challenges, and opportunities for further growth. The integration of electronic health records (EHR), telemedicine, mobile health applications, and the digitalization of medical services are among the main components of e-health in the country. Moreover, the article examines the role of the government, healthcare professionals, and technological advancements in facilitating the successful adoption of e-health solutions. The analysis also addresses the barriers to implementation, including infrastructure limitations, data security concerns, and the need for capacity-building in healthcare personnel. The findings suggest that while progress has been made, continuous investment and collaboration between stakeholders are crucial for the sustainable development of e-health in Uzbekistan.
