Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A video that was recently spread on social networks under the headline "Is it true that there is no medicine in Chirakchi?" is at the center of public discussion.

It notes such problems as the lack of staff and medical equipment in the Chiyal branch of the Chirakchi district medical association of Kashkadarya region.

The Senate Science, Education and Health Committee took the situation under control and examined its causes.
