International scientific-practical conference "Contemporary Problems of Infectiology, Epidemiology, Microbiology and Medical Parasitology", organized by the Andijan State Medical Institute in cooperation with the Tashkent Medical Academy, in Honobad, Republic of Uzbekistan. 

The goal of the conference has traditionally been the integration of science, medical education and practical healthcare.

Our university was represented by research scientists: MD, Academician of the RAS, professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases Begaidarova Roza Khassanovna, PhD, associate professor Devdariani Khatuna Georgiyevna, PhD, associate professor Junussov Yerzhan Seipolovich and a young scientist, intern of 6-044 group of the School of Medicine Rakhmonov Mukhsin Murtazo Ugli.

Despite the epidemiological transition that took place at the end of the twentieth century in the morbidity structure of the world's population toward chronic infectious diseases, the problems of infectious pathology have not lost their relevance to the present day. For the past year and a half, the world has been living under pandemic conditions and global constraints. A new coronavirus infection has changed the lives of all the world's population. The reports of our scientists were devoted to the topical problem of modern healthcare - COVID-19.
