Özet

Like the rest of the world, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic showed anunprecedented impact on healthcare system and economy of Uzbekistan. Due to lack ofresources, stalled organizational agility and highly bureaucratic decision making, thehealthcare system of Uzbekistan did not perform optimally. From the top to the bottomdecision-making and path dependent strategies were adopted that were ineffective due tovolatile and uncertain nature of pandemic. The whole system collapsed because of lack of beds,medical supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers. The Uzbekgovernment needs strategic plans to keep a fine balance between the economic recovery andspending on deteriorating healthcare system. Unlike many Commonwealth of IndependentStates (CIS) countries Uzbekistan didn’t deny the existence of COVID-19 in the country.However lack of transparency in data dissemination creates doubts of the intent and accuracyof the information. Uzbekistan would have to apply medium and long-term initiatives andforeign assistance to strengthen the macroeconomic structure and to fight with the inflationand unemployment.
