Cleveland Clinic and Central Asian University have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of Central Asian University Hospital. The hospital will be located in Tashkent on the expanded medical campus of CAU, a private university in Uzbekistan. Construction of the hospital is scheduled to begin this year. HKS is design partner on the project.
As part of this collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, Central Asian University Hospital is a provisional member of the Cleveland Clinic Connected program. The hospital’s leadership will work toward completing all quality assessment stages and meeting the requirements to become a Cleveland Clinic Connected member.
Cleveland Clinic will provide guidance to CAU in the following areas:
- Healthcare facility design and management
- Development and validation of existing medical education and residency programs
- Establishment of a nursing school and simulation center
- Clinical observerships, visiting lectures and scientific exchange
- Physician recruitment, supply chain management, and digital transformation
- Central Asian University Hospital’s physicians will be able to request educational consultations of complex cases.
This early-stage collaboration ensures that Central Asian University Hospital will be designed from the ground up based on the Cleveland Clinic model of care, integrating comprehensive specialties, advanced clinical centers and world-class medical equipment. The new 120-bed hospital will be able to serve up to 269,000 patients annually, making it one of the most efficient and modern clinical centers in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. Learn more here.
