Over the 30 years since the adoption of the State Program “Saglyk,” a solid foundation has been established for the healthcare system. Within the framework of the Era of Revival of the New Age, modern diagnostic and clinical centers, multi-profile hospitals, sanatoriums, and pharmaceutical production facilities using local raw materials are being constructed.

Among these are the International Scientific and Clinical Center of Physiology in Ashgabat, the Maternal and Child Health Center, and a Multi-Profile Hospital in Arkadag city; the International Pediatric Center with 160 beds, the International Scientific and Clinical Oncology Center with 500 beds, a Dental Center, a medical cluster, and new buildings of the “Arçman” sanatorium with 400 beds in the Baherden District of Ahal Province.

At the “Arkadag Medisina Klasteri Menejment” enterprise, production of medical products based on environmentally friendly local raw materials has been established, while domestic doctors undergo advanced training in leading centers across Europe and other countries. The Turkmen-German Medical Forum facilitates experience exchange and the implementation of advanced methods in applied medicine.

The Charitable Foundation for Assisting Children in Need of Care, named after Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, provides support for medical treatment and diagnostic procedures and equips healthcare facilities with necessary equipment and medical technology. State measures in the healthcare sector are recognized by international organizations, including the World Health Organization and UNICEF.
