Abstract
This study examines the development of the healthcare system in Karakalpakstan during the 1960s and 1970s, a period marked by significant social and economic transformations in the Soviet Union. Despite notable advancements in medical infrastructure, healthcare professional training, and public health education, challenges such as resource shortages and regional disparities persisted. Addressing the knowledge gap in historical healthcare evolution, this research aims to assess the impact of government policies on healthcare expansion and public health outcomes in Karakalpakstan. Using historical sources and statistical data, the findings reveal substantial improvements in healthcare accessibility and public health awareness, though uneven distribution of resources remained a limitation. These results underscore the importance of policy-driven initiatives in addressing regional healthcare inequalities, offering insights for current health policy reforms in similar contexts.
