Last update: 4 hours agoPharma Policy Boost: Uzbekistan will start new financial incentives for domestic pharmaceutical makers from June 1, reimbursing up to 50% of costs for foreign consulting and international certification (EU GMP, U.S. FDA GMP, WHO prequalification), capped at $50,000 per company, and adding support for local research-backed medicines and medical devices. Early Childhood Care: The government approved a regulation for early intervention services for children from birth to age three with disabilities or at risk of developmental delay, with parents able to apply via “Inson” centers, Public Service Centers, or my.gov.uz and the Social Card system. Medical Cooperation: Uzbekistan and Vietnam signed a medical cooperation deal, while Uzbekistan’s folk medicine center and Vietnam’s University of Health Sciences agreed to expand traditional and integrated medicine training, research on medicinal plants, and joint conferences.

Ebola Watch (Regional): Mexico, the U.S., and Canada activated World Cup Ebola surveillance protocols, including airport health checkpoints and travel-history reviews for arrivals from Central and East Africa.
