“Treatment of one coronavirus patient, whose state of health is moderate, costs the budget 32 million soums or $3,200. If the patient is in the intensive care and his health condition is grave – 64 million soums,” he said.
Alisher Shodmonov also said that a person’s 14-day quarantine costs the state 2.4 million soums, and the subsequent 14-day rehabilitation – 2.8 million soums.
It should be noted that in the United States uninsured patients must pay about $73,300 for a 6-day treatment, and insured patients – $38,200.
At present, 495 people have completely recovered from the coronavirus infection in Uzbekistan.
