The forum also considered the possibility of implementing the joint production of medicines and medical equipment, mutual recognition of diplomas issued in the field of medicine by the member states of the organization.
In addition, the Samarkand Declaration will contribute to the creation of a common network in the field of health tourism with the participation of member states and observers of the OTS, the creation of a Unified Medical Information Dictionary and other projects.
