The hill, on which the sanatorium “Chartak resorts” is being built by, was a deserted place until recent years. Thanks to the investment worth $25 million from local entrepreneurs and foreign investors, a modern camping site covering more than 15 hectares of land is being built here.

It opens up additional opportunities for development of medical tourism and ecotourism in the region.

The President reviewed the conditions created at this rehabilitation center. In Chartak, he has also ordered to build more sanatoriums, covering all layers of the population by classifying them cheap, medium and expensive. Consequently, the cost of service will be reduced by ensuring competition.

However, many people do not know this place and some have difficulties because of the long distance. Therefore, people from all over Uzbekistan, primarily from Karakalpakstan and Khorezm should be brought here. The health of our people, especially our children, is the most important thing for us. We need a healthy generation to develop the economy,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
