Doctor salary in Uzbekistan (2026)
Healthcare is officially the lowest-paid sector in Uzbekistan — about 4.11 million som per month on average (Q1 2026). A pay reform is changing that: in pilot regions from July 2025, a family doctor’s base pay is set around the equivalent of $500 (doubling with a qualification certificate), and the president has publicly targeted doctor salaries of up to $1,500 as the system rolls out. Private clinics already pay well above state rates.
What doctors are paid
In official statistics, healthcare & social care averages about 4.11 million som per month (Q1 2026) — the lowest of the major sectors and well below the 6.82 million national average.
A reform launched in pilot districts from 1 July 2025 restructures medical pay: family doctors get a base around the $500 equivalent, which doubles with a qualification certificate; nurses start around $300. The stated goal as the new system expands is doctor pay up to roughly $1,500. Meanwhile the private sector — clinics, dentistry, diagnostics — routinely pays multiples of the state base, especially for in-demand specialists.
