Following the official procedures, Firdavs Sharifzoda, Chairman of Khujand City and Chairman of the Majlis of People’s Deputies, introduced the participants to the session’s agenda.
Regarding the first item on the agenda — “On the implementation of Resolution No. 702 of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan dated 31 December 2020, ‘On the Programme for the Training of Medical Personnel through 2030’” — a report was delivered by Jamshid Nabizoda, Deputy Chairman of the city and a member of the Majlis of People’s Deputies of Khujand City.
It was noted that healthcare is one of the priority areas of the social policy of the Republic of Tajikistan. Since the country gained state independence, the sector has continued to develop steadily and has achieved significant progress.
The Founder of Peace and National Unity — Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, has paid special attention since the early years of independence to the development of healthcare and social protection, the improvement of the sector’s operations, and the strengthening of its material and technical infrastructure. All necessary measures have been undertaken in this regard.
It was emphasised that the Programme for the Training of Medical Personnel through 2030 was developed to ensure that healthcare organisations and institutions, as well as medical educational and research institutions, are supplied with highly qualified medical specialists in accordance with labour market requirements. The programme aims to improve the quality of medical services and contributes to the implementation of one of the priority areas of the Concept for Healthcare Reform in the Republic of Tajikistan.
Considering the significant shortage of medical personnel in certain regions of the country, as well as the direct relationship between the quality of healthcare services and the quality of professional training, the preparation of medical personnel remains a priority for the healthcare sector. Reforms aimed at bringing medical services into line with international standards and improving public health require particular attention to this issue.
During the discussion of this agenda item, a report was also delivered by Shakhnoza Mirzobahadur, Chairwoman of the Standing Committee of the city’s Majlis on Social Affairs, Spirituality, Culture and Information, and a member of the Majlis of People’s Deputies of Khujand City representing Guliston Electoral District No. 15.
Firdavs Sharifzoda, Chairman of the city and Chairman of the Majlis of People’s Deputies, instructed the standing committees to work more actively with healthcare institutions in conducting awareness-raising activities and informational events to support the implementation of the Programme for the Training of Medical Personnel.
Under the second item on the agenda, a report was heard from Sheroz Mu’minzoda, Chair of the Standing Committee of the Majlis of People’s Deputies of Khujand City on Economic Affairs, Finance and Municipal Property Management, and a member of the Majlis representing Sugdiyon Electoral District No. 31.
This was followed by a report from Shahina Gadoyboeva, a member of the Majlis of People’s Deputies of Khujand City representing Sebzor Electoral District No. 7, on the exercise of her parliamentary duties.
During the session, Zaynura Azimi, Deputy Chairman of Sughd Region, also participated in the discussions and shared her views on the issues under consideration.
Concluding the seventh session of the seventh convocation of the Majlis of People’s Deputies of Khujand City, Firdavs Sharifzoda emphasised that the city’s executive body of state authority consistently strives to improve the status of medical professionals and further enhance the quality of healthcare services provided to the population.
“The health of society is essential for every state. Therefore, we must safeguard the health of our people and create all the necessary conditions to protect and improve it,” he stressed.
In his Address to the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan on 16 December 2025, the Founder of Peace and National Unity — Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, stated:
“Every member of society should, in honour of the sacred occasion of the 35th anniversary of state independence, accomplish a good deed for the development of their country and the prosperity of their beloved homeland, demonstrating that the Tajik people are a nation of builders and creators with an ancient culture and civilisation.
Over the nearly 35 years that have passed, the noble people of Tajikistan have overcome many extremely difficult and challenging days with patience, perseverance, unity and solidarity. They possess immense creative strength and great potential, and it is precisely this powerful spirit of creation and development that will ensure the bright future of our beloved homeland.”
In line with these guiding words of the Leader of the Nation, efforts to promote development and construction must be further intensified ahead of this significant anniversary, and all forthcoming festive events must be organised and held to a high standard.
Each of us — members of the Majlis and active members of the city community — must continue working together for the growth and development of our beloved Tajikistan, the prosperity of our homeland, the achievement of our noble goals, and the further strengthening of the reputation and standing of the Tajik state on the international stage.
