Abstract
Background/Objectives: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) disproportionately burden low- and middle-income countries, but no such description has been published for Uzbekistan. We describe national trends in reported HAIs over 2015–2024 with their regional and clinical distribution and review the country’s infection prevention and control (IPC) regulations against the eight World Health Organization (WHO) Core Components.
