Yesterday, a video conference meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was held to discuss priority tasks for the next stage of reforms in the medical field.

It was noted that 35-40 percent of infectious diseases occur due to non-compliance with basic hygiene rules. In this regard, the "Clean Hands" program will be implemented in all schools, kindergartens, technical schools, universities, polyclinics, and hospitals. According to him:

- Handwashing facilities in educational and medical organizations are fully equipped with sanitary and hygienic means;

- In 126 schools with difficult conditions, toilets will be built inside buildings, and more than 6 thousand kindergartens will receive solar collectors;

- Water tanks and tanks will be installed in 4,295 social institutions.

This year alone, 780 billion soums will be allocated from the budget for these purposes. It was noted that every social institution must be clean and tidy, and comfortable sanitary and hygienic conditions must be created for people.
