The government is making active efforts to reform the healthcare system. These efforts are aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of medical services, introducing new treatment standards, strengthening the material and technical base of medical institutions, and developing primary healthcare [2].

The main priorities are thedevelopment ofdigital literacy and skillsin thefield ofinformation technology. One ofthe important projects in thisfield is the“One Million Uzbek Coders”program, aimed at providing free education to young people in the basics of programming and IT specialties [3]. Focusing on the development of digital skills will create a favorable basis for the further implementation and use of AI technologies in the educational process and in the training of specialists inthis field.
