DIABETES MELLITUS IN UZBEKISTAN: PREVALENCE AND MEDICAL RESPONSES
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has become a critical non-communicable disease that continues to challenge public health systems worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Uzbekistan. As the nation undergoes rapid demographic and socio-economic transformations, the increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) emerges as a public health concern with profound clinical, economic, and social implications.
