Abstract:
This article discusses the issues of increasing the effectiveness of medical
preventive work, its impact on public health, the main stages of prevention and modern
approaches. The ways of forming a healthy lifestyle of the population, preventing diseases
and improving the quality of medical services through preventive measures are analyzed.
Keywords:

INTRODUCTION
Today, preventive work remains one of the priorities in the field of healthcare. Preventing
diseases is much cheaper and more effective than treating them. Medical preventive
measures play an important role in ensuring a healthy lifestyle for the population. Primary,
secondary and tertiary preventive measures should be systematically organized to strengthen
public health. This article examines the practical importance of prevention, existing
problems and ways to solve them.
Starting from January 1, 2021, regular screening examinations have been introduced in
citizens aged 40 and older to determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases (for example,
hypertension, heart attack, stroke, diabetes mellitus and other risk factors).
Also, district (city) branches of the Center for the Development of a Healthy Lifestyle and
Physical Activity of the Population were allowed to operate on the territory of
multidisciplinary central polyclinics. Employees of these centers not only promote a healthy
lifestyle, but also offer the population various medical and preventive services, including
consultations and medical examinations.
Volunteer teams are being formed in neighborhoods and in preschool educational
institutions, schools, and higher and secondary specialized educational institutions to
promote the widespread introduction of a healthy lifestyle. They include retired doctors,
teachers, intellectuals, and other active citizens.
In addition, a Coordination Commission for Disease Prevention and Public Health has been
established under the Cabinet of Ministers, and its main functions have been determined.
The composition and procedure for organizing the activities of the Commission have been
approved, and tasks in this area have been distributed between state bodies and departments
at the central and local levels. The Ministry of Health has been designated as the working
div of this commission. The decisions of the Coordination Commission are binding on all
state and economic management bodies, local executive authorities, and other relevant
organizations.
In accordance with the Presidential Decree “On Additional Measures to Ensure Public
Health by Increasing the Efficiency of Medical Preventive Work”, a number of innovations
have been introduced to protect the health of the population.

Starting from January 1, 2021, citizens aged 40 and older will undergo systematic screening
examinations to determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases (for example, hypertension,
heart attack, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and other factors).
Departments of centers for attracting the population to a healthy lifestyle and increasing
physical activity will operate in the buildings of multidisciplinary central polyclinics at the
district and city levels. Here, public health specialists will provide citizens with services
such as consultations and preventive examinations.
Also, societies of volunteers — including retired doctors, teachers, and intellectuals — who
will actively participate in promoting a healthy lifestyle will be organized. They will assist
in establishing preventive work in neighborhoods and educational institutions.
In 2021, 2 billion soums will be allocated from the republican and local budgets for the
activities of centers for supporting a healthy lifestyle of the population. It is planned to
allocate at least the same amount of funds in the following years.
“Health Hour” and other special programs on health will be broadcast on central and
regional TV channels.
A Coordination Commission for Disease Prevention and Public Health will be established
under the Cabinet of Ministers. It will carry out the following tasks:
• Ensure the high-quality and timely implementation of all measures within the framework
of the Resolution;
• Develop social and preventive approaches based on sanitary and hygienic, epidemiological
and individual measures;
• Organize the unification of enterprises and institutions of various forms of ownership into
a single system for the protection, promotion and promotion of health;
• Create an interactive monitoring system for assessing the health of the population and
introduce modern IT and innovative technologies;
• Organizes population studies and research on disease risk factors based on international
standards.
The Ministry of Health is designated as the working div of this commission. The decisions
taken by the commission are binding on all state, economic management and local
authorities.
CONCLUSION
To summarize all that has been said, Medical prevention is inextricably linked not only to
the healthcare system, but also to all sectors of society. Preventing diseases is always more
effective and economically beneficial than treating them. Public health can be ensured
through the widespread implementation of preventive measures, increasing the population's
interest in a healthy lifestyle, and using modern technologies. Therefore, prevention should
be a top priority in health policy.
