The government actively supports pharmaceutics in Turkmenistan. In 2015, the state program to increase the export of Turkmen medicines, designed to boost production capacity and intensify scientific research in this area at the expense of the state budget was adopted in the country.
In this regard, it was noted that there are prospects for establishing supplies of Turkmen medical products to Tatarstan.

At the same time, revenues from sales of pharmaceutical products increased by 11.6 percent. Specialists of the State Statistics Committee associate this with the increase in production, the improvement of quality and the growth of sales of domestic medicines.
