Who holds the health record in Uzbekistan?
In 2026, Uzbekistan scores 46 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 67th of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 51st to 92nd allowing for scoring error, in the Mixed band (45 to 64). Who holds the keys: the government. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
The government decides, with limited say for the person. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is doctors see it when treating you (52 out of 100, against 33 to 34 for the typical country). The furthest behind is privacy and security (38 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country).
Uzbeks can open their e-medical card in the state DMED app, but the law promises only extracts and records flow without patient choice.

What would Uzbekistan need to change to score higher?
Uzbekistan sits in Mixed (45 to 64); Strong starts at 65. Its two weakest rights, compared with the typical country and weighted by how much each counts, are privacy and security (38 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country) and protection from sale and ads (40 out of 100, against 45 for the typical country). Our scoring rules give more points for:
Privacy and security: A health data regulator that is independent and actually acts: it decides cases about health records, breaches must be reported, and fines are applied.
Protection from sale and ads: Clear limits on selling health data or using it for ads, covering apps and data brokers as well as doctors and hospitals.
Which laws give health record rights in Uzbekistan?
Law ZRU-547 On Personal Data (2019): Health data is special data; written consent, Cabinet-run regulator, localisation of biometric and genetic data.
Law 265-I On Protection of Citizens' Health (1996): Patient rights, right to health information and record extracts, medical secrecy and its exceptions.
Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 570 on digitalisation of health care (2025): Mandatory real-time e-health connection for all medical and pharmacy organisations; e-prescription rules.
