Uzbekistan plans to allow private medical institutions to conduct baby deliveries starting in 2025 to combat overcrowding and corruption in state-run maternity facilities. While private entities offer a broader range of services since 2017, childbirth and abortion procedures are still restricted to state facilities to prevent issues like human trafficking. The decision aims to manage rising births and address corruption concerns in the country's maternity care system.
