39-year-old Munojat Turobaeva passed away on March 28 after receiving an injection at a family medical point in Govazon village, Yangikurgan district. She had come to the facility to administer a hemoglobin-boosting drug. Nurse Gulbahor Ergasheva administered the drug 'Ferlek', after which the woman's condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her death. Relatives claim she was healthy and active, with the exact cause of death to be determined by forensic examination.

According to family members, Munojat Turobaeva was a homemaker, with her husband working in Tashkent. She had completed a three-day course of the drug 'Neofer' on March 4, but on March 28, she complained of body pains and requested to use a remaining ampoule of 'Ferlek' she brought from home. Nurse Ergasheva initially advised waiting for a doctor but, pitying the woman due to her lack of travel funds, proceeded with the injection.

Family doctor Khudoyberdi Alijonov was at the main mahalla medical point at the time and arrived after being called, but the woman had already died. He highlighted staff shortages, noting that doctors are not always present at family medical points. Nurse Ergasheva added that the woman had previously experienced adverse reactions to blood drugs, but the point lacked equipment for first aid.

The deceased's sister-in-law, Nargiza Tursunova, stated that no doctor was present at the point on the day of the incident, and basic medical tools like a blood pressure monitor and thermometer were missing, with the bed being dirty. Husband Botir Tursunov recounted speaking to his wife by phone 20 minutes before her death, finding her healthy and expecting her return, only to receive news of her passing shortly after.

The Yangikurgan district prosecutor's office is conducting preliminary investigations into the case. This incident raises concerns about deficiencies in the local healthcare system, including personnel and equipment shortages.
