The proposal to allocate a place in the district vocational college for vocational training of youth was also supported by the President of the Senate and the responsible officials were instructed to resolve this issue.

- This is a very sensible proposal, - said the Chairman of the Senate T. Narbayeva. - Since the admission of high school graduates to higher education institutions is great news. But what about those who have not entered universities? Especially, it is advisable to teach boys a profession. For a skilled person will never be lost. Another aspect is that it is important to assimilate foreign experience in production, to increase its competitiveness and market attractiveness.

The next address of the trip is the Janjalsay bridge, which flows through the Khojent MSG of the Turakurgan district. The Chairman of the Senate considered the project on the capital reconstruction of the automobile bridge across Janjalsay.

On the basis of the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On measures to improve the organization of the activities of primary health care institutions in the Republic of Uzbekistan", the activity of the rural medical center "Sokhilobod" was terminated. 

Due to the increased demand for medical services, an increase in the number of calls and the number of residents in the mahallas "Uzumzor" and "Sokhilobod", where this rural medical center was located, the issue of restoration and overhaul of the rural medical center "Sokhilobod" was included in the Development Program of Turakurgan district for 2022.

The Chairperson of the Senate emphasized the need to consider this issue and prioritize public health protection. She also emphasized the work to be done in the area in this direction.

“A pandemic does not mean a refusal to fight other diseases,” said Senate Chairman T. Narbayeva. - It is especially necessary to constantly deal with the health of people under dispensary supervision and people with chronic diseases. It is advisable to protect motherhood and childhood, to prevent congenital disability and early childbirth, and most importantly, to study their causes.

In addition, does the normative document on the medical examination of persons entering into marriage meet the current requirements? What should be done in this direction? It is necessary to make suggestions and recommendations on these issues.

One more aspect. It is necessary to pay attention to the food culture, the need for a healthy lifestyle. It is important to conduct propaganda work in this direction among the population. The Law on Reproductive Health provides for sex education for children starting at school. However, today the relevant ministries are not doing any work in this regard. Based on the national mentality, it is possible to train girls and boys separately. In general, Turakurgan district should be the first in the country in terms of the level of health of the population, a healthy lifestyle.
