Since the first days of independence, Uzbekistan has set itself the goal of building a
democratic state governed by the rule of law and a fair civil society, in which the main thing
is the individual, his rights and interests. Looking back at the 29-year path of sovereign
development, we can say with full confidence that a huge amount of work has been done
to implement socio-economic and socio-political reforms, which has led to large-scale
achievements and successes in all spheres of state and society.
In February 2017, President of Uzbekistan Sh. Mirziyoyev signed a Decree “On the
strategy of actions for further development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021”.
The document, which includes 5 priority areas for the country’s development for five
years: improving public administration, the judicial and legal system and the social sphere,
liberalizing the economy and ensuring security, was developed based on the results of
studying issues of concern to the population, analyzing current legislation, law
enforcement practice and foreign experience [1].
In the modern economy, innovations are becoming the main factor in improving the
efficiency of not only all sectors of the economy, but also social structures-education,
medicine, and public administration. An innovative way of development is the only
possible way to build a competitive economy of the country as a whole.
Given the current situation, a specific characteristic of the economy is the
strengthening of the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in all
spheres of life of the population, which in turn leads to the expansion of social interaction
- electronic participation of civil society in the discussion of state initiatives. The problem
of introducing the digital economy in Uzbekistan has become particularly relevant. In
order to further develop the economy on an innovative path, President Sh. Mirziyoyev
declared 2020 the “Year of development of science, education and the digital economy".
“It is known that digital technologies not only improve the quality of products and services,
reduce costs, but also are an effective tool in the fight against corruption - the most serious
problem that concerns me very much” [2], the President stressed, recalling that the
introduction of digital technologies contributes to the efficiency of state and public
administration, the development of the social sphere.
As the experience of foreign countries shows, the introduction of information and
communication technologies in all spheres of life gives citizens access to high-quality
services of government agencies and at the same time reduces the cost of these services.
One of these services is an electronic health service. E-medicine includes a set of
organizational and technological tools that increase the availability and quality of medicine
by realizing the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

ICTs create opportunities for remote provision of highly qualified medical care,
monitoring of patients’ health, conducting medical research, organizing remote
consultations of doctors, issuing sick lists and receiving prescriptions in electronic form,
and for other ways of useful use of modern technologies in medicine.
Today, there are many examples where innovations in the field of e-medicine
significantly facilitate access to medical services and make them more convenient. For
example, a number of countries already have online services that allow you to get medical
care at any time via the Internet, consult a doctor, write prescriptions, etc. For example,
analysts estimate that the global telemedicine market was $ 14.3 billion in 2014 and will
grow to $ 36.6 billion by 2020. At the same time, the largest area will be the most
innovative sphere of telemedicine-health monitoring [3].
Thus, the experience of foreign countries demonstrates a significant interest in the
development of health information systems, their widespread implementation and
widespread use. At the same time, these countries are aware of the need to further improve
their organizational systems in order to adapt them to modern telemedicine technologies.
Observing global trends, Uzbekistan has also taken the first steps to develop e-
health. The decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan “on comprehensive
measures to radically improve the health system of the Republic of Uzbekistan” dated
December 7, 2018 approved the Concept of development of the health system of the
Republic of Uzbekistan for 2019-2025. The concept pays special attention to the wide
implementation of the “E-health” system, the creation of a complex of information systems
and databases integrated on the basis of common national standards [4].
At the same time, we believe that in order to successfully implement e-health and
reduce health inequalities in the development of digital services, close attention should be
paid to improving digital and health literacy among health workers and the population.
It should be noted that it is advisable to expand the e-learning program for both
students and healthcare professionals. Universal health coverage directly affects the health
of the population and is a characteristic sign of the state's desire to support the well-being
of the country's population. According to WHO, universal access reduces widespread
poverty and social inequalities, improves education, helps ensure sustainable
development, and enables citizens to actively contribute to the well-being of their families
and communities, thereby empowering people to be healthier, more productive, and more
involved in protecting their health and well-being [5].
It should also be noted that e-health plays a unique and crucial role in achieving
universal health coverage. E-health allows you to expand the range of health services,
increase the transparency and accessibility of preventive care and medical information,
expand the base for using the offered health services, and stimulate innovation and
efficiency growth.
In General, we believe that in order to achieve the goals set for the development of
e-medicine as soon as possible, it is necessary to introduce the services of “smart
medicine”, remote prevention and treatment, and “e-medicine”. But first, we need to
develop the necessary training programs for the development of information literacy of
future medical workers, and create training courses to improve the skills of employees in
this field using IT programs.
