Medicine and health

Medicine and health in Uzbekistan cover state clinics, private clinics, labs and specialists. It is hard for a patient to judge a doctor in advance and the cost of a mistake is high, so others' experience is especially valuable here — from diagnostic quality to staff attitude.

When choosing a clinic or doctor, look at qualifications, honesty about prescriptions (whether extra tests are pushed), cleanliness and price transparency. How they treat a patient when complications arise and whether they take responsibility for the outcome matter.

What to look for when choosing

• Doctor's qualifications — experience and specialty.
• Honest prescriptions — no extra procedures for money.
• Price transparency — does the bill match what was quoted.
• Staff attitude — attention and respect toward the patient.

Been treated or examined? Leave a review: did the doctor help, were the prices honest and would you return.
