Nanavati Max, Uzbekistan’s NVRH forge alliance to advance healthcare and training

Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai, has signed a landmark medical collaboration agreement with Uzbekistan’s Namangan Viloyat Republic Hospital (NVRH).

This strategic partnership marks a significant step towards advancing cross-border healthcare, focusing on specialized clinical training and high-end treatment programs across key areas including multi-organ transplantation, oncology, orthopaedics, bone marrow transplant (BMT), and urology.

Under this agreement, Nanavati Max Hospital will extend advanced organ transplantation services to patients from Uzbekistan in India, while also providing structured, hands-on training for NVRH surgeons. The initiative includes live surgical demonstrations conducted at NVRH, enabling Uzbek clinicians to gain real-time exposure to advanced surgical techniques. Additionally, select surgeons from NVRH will undergo advanced training at Nanavati Max Hospital in Mumbai.

These collaborative efforts aim to enhance the clinical expertise of NVRH’s medical teams, laying the foundation for the establishment of sustainable, high-quality transplant and specialty care programs within Uzbekistan.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Vivek Talaulikar, Director & Chief Operating Officer, Western Region, Max Healthcare, said: "Through this collaboration between Nanavati Max Hospital and Namangan Viloyat Republic Hospital, we aim to share our transplantation expertise internationally. This partnership will help establish comprehensive multi-organ transplant programs in Uzbekistan, offer structured training for local clinicians, and expand access to advanced treatment options for patients. We see this as the beginning of many impactful global collaborations in the future."

Dr. Nezomiddin Rakhimzhonovich Otamirzae, Director, Regional Hospital Namangan, and Additional Health Secretary, Ministry of Health, Namangan Region, Uzbekistan, added: "This partnership will help us build a sustainable transplant ecosystem in Uzbekistan while ensuring that our patients can access advanced tertiary care in India when needed. By integrating surgery, training, and patient navigation under a unified framework, the collaboration will reduce waiting times, standardize transplant protocols, and provide Uzbek patients with a seamless, transparent care pathway to treatment in Mumbai."

To ensure a smooth patient experience, the collaboration will establish a dedicated care coordination system for Uzbek patients traveling to India. A specialized team will oversee the entire process—including visa facilitation, airport transfers, accommodation, interpreter services, hospital admission, insurance pre-approvals, and transparent communication with clinical teams—allowing patients and their families to focus fully on treatment and recovery.

This partnership represents a milestone in India–Uzbekistan healthcare collaboration, combining clinical excellence, structured training, and compassionate patient care to advance global medical standards.
