Vascular diseases of the brain are a significant problem for public health in Uzbekistan. Statistics show that over the past five years, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased by 20%, and more than 50% of deaths in the country are due to them. This is especially alarming, given that about four million people have been diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, which is 12% of the total population. In response to these challenges, the Uzbek authorities are planning to introduce a new system of prevention, early detection and effective treatment. Next year will see the introduction of targeted screening for the entire population, as well as the provision of district laboratories with the necessary equipment and reagents. These measures, along with strengthening the training of medical personnel, are aimed at reducing the prevalence and mortality from vascular diseases of the brain in the country.
