Uzbekistan and Germany share a long history of cultural and economic ties. In recent years, both countries have been working to strengthen their cooperation in the healthcare sector and both countries have achieved significant progress in improving their healthcare systems. However, there is still room for further collaboration and exchange of knowledge and experience between the two countries. Therefore, organizing a health forum could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between Uzbekistan and Germany as well as enhance cooperation in the health sector.

The Uzbekistan-Germany Health Forum aims to promote collaboration and exchange of knowledge between the healthcare sectors of the two countries.
