Tashkent - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular health concerns? What is the quality of available medical care? What medical conditions typically require medical evacuation?
Air quality isn't the best, especially in winter but air purifiers help that. International clinic can do most routine things, surgeries you will need to go elsewhere. - Aug 2022
The air quality is terrible, most days. Dust is everywhere, all the time, which can cause some asthmatic and sinus issues. It is also terrible for those who were contacts. Be sure you have plenty of back up pairs, AND a pair of glasses. Wash your produce, and don't drink the tap water. The Med Unit is staffed with an American PA, hired by the state department, a local Dr./pediatrician, a local nurse and EFM receptionists.
Regular checkups/vaccines/tummy aches and such can be treated at the embassy. There is an international clinic that is staffed by a variety of expat physicians, and they have more equipment to provide tests/scans. Anything that would require a procedure or hospitalization would be medically evacuated to London. - Sep 2018
Medical care is available through Tashkent International Clinic (doctor and dentist). Anything remotely serious requires evacuation. - Aug 2018
The Tashkent International Clinic offers good quality basic medical care, with English speaking doctors. Anything else gets evacuated. - Jul 2015
There is one international medical clinic here. I think it is average healthcare. 'Tashkent Tummy' is prevalent. The heat and the dust can be very enervating in the summer. - Aug 2014
See my previous comment on the Tashkent International Medical Clinic (www.tashclinic.org). - Jun 2007
