The government of Uzbekistan has drafted a new resolution that mandates annual medical examinations for all teachers and educators, covering both public and private educational institutions. This initiative aims to establish standardized health protocols within the educational sector.

Under the proposed rules, educators in public schools and kindergartens will undergo medical check-ups funded by the state budget as part of guaranteed healthcare services. In private institutions, the costs will be borne by the establishments themselves, with examinations permitted only at licensed clinics to ensure compliance and quality.

Employers are required to organize these medical check-ups, and educators will be granted leave from work during the examination period while retaining their positions and average salaries. The measures are designed to facilitate regular health monitoring for teachers, reduce disease risks, and enhance sanitary safety in schools and other educational settings.

According to the Ministry of Health, this step is intended to maximize safety for both educators and students in child-focused environments. It aligns with broader health policy discussions, including recent proposals for mandatory medical check-ups for citizens returning from abroad, reflecting ongoing efforts to bolster public health standards in the country.
