Five‑day workweek introduced in public healthcare institutions from 1 April 2026
Public healthcare institutions in Uzbekistan begin operating on a five‑day workweek starting 1 April 2026, with duty shifts on weekends and holidays to ensure continuity of care.
On 1 April 2026, public healthcare institutions across Uzbekistan switch from a six‑day to a five‑day workweek as part of a broader reform package aimed at improving healthcare workers’ conditions and service quality. Duty systems and weekend on‑call shifts have been put in place to maintain uninterrupted medical services, particularly for emergency and in‑patient care. The measure is intended to reduce staff burnout and improve the long‑term sustainability of the healthcare workforce.
