6 steps to medical treatment in Uzbekistan
Define your treatment goal
Dentistry, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, or a full health checkup? The goal determines clinic choice, duration, and budget. For complex surgery — verify the specific surgeon's experience and equipment availability.
Online consultation via AIVITA
Book a video consultation with a Tashkent specialist before traveling. Discuss your diagnosis, review your records, get a treatment plan and cost estimate. English-speaking doctors are available for international patients.
Prepare your digital health record
Fill in your AIVITA medcard: diagnoses, allergies, medications, test results, imaging. Share the QR code with the clinic in advance — doctors review your history before arrival.
Travel documents
Passport. Citizens of 90+ countries enter visa-free. Others: e-visa at e-visa.gov.uz. Bring: medical records, MRI/CT scans on CD or in cloud, your AIVITA medcard QR code.
Treatment in Tashkent
On arrival, show your AIVITA QR code. The doctor sees your full history in English — no re-translation needed. After treatment, request a discharge summary and upload it to your AIVITA medcard.
Follow-up from home

Visa and entry requirements for Uzbekistan
Citizens of over 90 countries can enter Uzbekistan visa-free for stays up to 30 days. CIS countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Tajikistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan) have no restrictions.
For other nationalities: apply for an e-visa at the official portal e-visa.gov.uz. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days. Medical treatment is not a separate visa category — a tourist visa is sufficient for planned treatment.
What medical documents to bring
Your AIVITA digital health record in English covers most of what the clinic needs: diagnoses, allergies, medications, blood type, recent test results. Additionally bring: MRI/CT scans in DICOM format (on disc or upload to a cloud link), original discharge summaries from previous hospitalizations (in your native language — the clinic may have translators), a list of all current medications with international nonproprietary names (INNs) rather than brand names.
How to pay for treatment
Most internationally-oriented clinics in Tashkent accept: cash in USD or UZS (Uzbek som), Visa and Mastercard credit cards (availability varies by clinic and terminal), sometimes Russian payment system Mir. For major procedures, clinics typically require a 20–50% advance deposit when booking. Get a written confirmation of costs before starting treatment.
