Improvement of Patient Care in Transplant Diagnostics in Uzbekistan
Situation:
While organ transplantations and allogeneic stem cell transplantations have been among the well-established medical treatment methods in Germany for several decades, they are beeing performed in Uzbekistan since 2022 and 2023, respectively. One of the reasons for this is that the Transplant Medicine and Transplant Diagnostics are still in their early phases of development in the region.

The main goal of this cooperation project is the transfer of the knowledge and medical know-how in the field of Transplant Diagnostics to Uzbekistan with the help of german experts.
Establishment of a state-of-the-art HLA laboratory equipped with modern facilities in accordance with the current standards of the European Federation of Immunogenetics (EFI) at the Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center for Hematology at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tashkent.
Training of the qualified personnel of the Uzbek cooperation partner center in the methods and techniques of transplant diagnostics in Germany and the laboratory staff on-site in Uzbekistan.
The continuous and professional exchange between the German and Uzbek cooperation partners will ensure the effective transfer of expertise and the know-how in transplant diagnostics to the region.
The key feature of the project is the establishment of an HLA laboratory in accordance with current EFI standards at the cooperation center in Tashkent over the next 2.5 years as well as the fulfillment of all EFI standards and the EFI accreditation of the newly established HLA laboratory in Uzbekistan within the first three years following the completion of this cooperation project.
