On October 19, 2024, Mr. Behlül Ünver, General Manager of USHAŞ, held an important meeting with Mr. Anvarjon Otakhodjaev, Governor of Namangan City, Uzbekistan. The main purpose of the visit was to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in the field of healthcare and to improve the quality of healthcare services in Namangan.
