Ahead of the 35th anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence, the polyclinic at the Military Security and Defense University was equipped with modern medical technology and equipment provided as humanitarian aid by the Government of India and put into operation.
The opening ceremony was attended by Major General Farkhodjon Shermatov, first deputy head of the Military Security and Defense University, India's Ambassador to Uzbekistan Smita Pant, along with service members and veterans.
During the event, India formally handed over advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment, a specialized ambulance-reanimobile, and four sets of trauma equipment intended for military hospitals under the Ministry of Defense.
The polyclinic received more than 70 items of medical equipment across 49 categories, with a total value of $500,000. The delivery included a digital X-ray machine, a 24-hour Holter monitoring device, a cycle ergometer, an ultrasound machine, and modern dental and physiotherapy equipment.
The new equipment is expected to improve the quality of medical care provided to service members, cadets and their families, while expanding opportunities for early diagnosis and effective treatment. The specialized ambulance will enhance the university's capacity to deliver emergency medical care.
Officials noted that military cooperation between Uzbekistan and India continues to expand into other areas as well. India previously helped establish an information technology and cybersecurity laboratory complex at the university, and Indian specialists are also involved in training cadets and officers.
At the close of the ceremony, guests toured the polyclinic's new medical facilities. Indian specialists were presented with the Ministry of Defense's "For Services in Strengthening Combat Commonwealth" breast badge, along with commemorative gifts.
