The key priorities of the state policy of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov include the protection of the people’s health in line with the Saglyk State Programme that was adopted on July 21, 1995. In 2015, the new Saglyk Programme was approved.

Particular attention is paid to universal access to high-quality health care. This is evidenced by the recent opening ceremonies of the multi-type hospitals in Turkmenbashi and Dashoguz and the oncology hospital in Dashoguz that took place with the participation of Arkadagly Serdar. The equipment installed at the new clinics allows applying the cutting-edge methods for diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. The departments are supplied with high-tech medical equipment, which allows local doctors to receive patients, to make diagnoses and, if necessary, to conduct a comprehensive medical evaluation and to treat patients.
