The initiative follows agreements reached during the visit of Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to Uzbekistan.

Following talks between Migration Agency Director Behzod Musaev, representatives of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in the Czech Republic and Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtěch, the sides agreed to launch a programme to prepare Uzbek medical professionals for work in the Czech Republic, with subsequent employment, including in skilled positions at public and private healthcare facilities.
