Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Health and Ministry of Economy and Finance have secured a roughly $300 million investment for a new multidisciplinary hospital in the Fergana Region, announced in April 2026. The 800-bed facility will consolidate five existing specialized institutions into a single complex offering tertiary-level care in cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, organ transplantation, nephrology, and orthopedics — construction is expected to take roughly 36 months.
The project structure was developed with strategic support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC, World Bank Group), with additional financing from Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The public-private partnership agreement was signed with private partners Vision International Investment Company (Saudi Arabia) and KOC Construction Mekanik Elektrik Fe LLC (Uzbekistan), under the framework of Uzbekistan’s Presidential Decree on PPP development for 2024–2030.
The Fergana project follows earlier IFC-supported PPP hospitals in Samarkand, Jizzakh, and Kashkadaria — evidence of a deepening, repeatable model for bringing international capital and operating expertise into Uzbek healthcare infrastructure. It is precisely this kind of public-private healthcare infrastructure — and the government relationships and international financing pathways behind it — that the Association’s flagship initiative with SMOMT is designed to extend into clinical research.
