Ferghana to Build 800-Bed Multidisciplinary Hospital

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — A trilateral agreement has been signed in the Ferghana region for the implementation of a project to construct a modern 800-bed multidisciplinary hospital meeting international standards. The agreement covers the full cycle of the project, including design, financing, construction, equipment supply, and subsequent technical maintenance of the facility.

The document was signed by Uzbekistan’s Minister of Health Asilbek Khudayarov, President and CEO of Vision International Investment Company Omar Al-Midani, and CEO of KOC Construction Mekanik Elektrik FE LLC Subutay Guzel. The Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Germany in Uzbekistan, Marion Edel, also attended the signing ceremony.

The project will be implemented in a public–private partnership format under a presidential program for PPP development for 2024–2030. It is expected to become one of the largest healthcare facilities in Central Asia implemented under this model.

Total investment in the project is estimated at around USD 300 million, with a planned construction period of 36 months.

The hospital will consolidate five existing specialized medical institutions in the Ferghana region into a single modern medical center, enabling residents of the region and neighboring areas to access advanced tertiary care services, including cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, organ transplantation, nephrology, and orthopedics.

The facility will also include intensive care and emergency departments with a total capacity of 160 beds, along with supporting clinical infrastructure.

The private consortium responsible for implementation includes Vision International Investment Company from Saudi Arabia and KOC Construction Mekanik Elektrik FE LLC from Uzbekistan.

The project structure has been developed with strategic support from the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group, as well as financial assistance from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Officials said the modern diagnostic and treatment capabilities of the hospital are expected to improve healthcare efficiency, enhance service quality, and reduce the need for patients to seek treatment abroad.

The initiative is being viewed as a pilot model for expanding public–private partnerships in Uzbekistan’s healthcare sector.
