COLLABORATIONS AND HEALTH SERVICES
The University collaborates through its Department of Medicine to enhance health and wellbeing outcomes. This department provides emergency medical aid and rehabilitation services to students and faculty, with doctors continuously improving their skills at medical centers and associations. The 56th Family Polyclinic, affiliated with the university, offers essential healthcare services specifically for students and professors. It provides specialized assistance across various medical fields, utilizing advanced laboratory diagnostic methods. Equipped with modern technology, the polyclinic conducts X-ray, functional, ultrasound, and other examinations. With a dedicated team of highly qualified specialists, the polyclinic ensures comprehensive care, including consultations, treatments, and laboratory tests. This collaboration reinforces the university’s commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of its community (https://tuit.uz/en/universitet-tibbiyot-bolimi).
The university actively participates in outreach programs aimed at enhancing health and wellbeing in the local community. These initiatives include student volunteering programs that focus on various health-related topics, including sports and exercise. Notably, among the 92 higher education institutions in Tashkent, our university’s mini-football team, composed of students, achieved an impressive third place in the “Besh Tashabbus Olimpiadasi”. This success highlights our commitment to promoting physical activity and teamwork among students.
Through outreach efforts, students not only gain valuable experience but also make a positive impact in the community by organizing fitness activities and health awareness campaigns. By fostering community engagement, the university contributes to the overall improvement of public health and promotes a culture of wellbeing in the region (https://t.me/tuituz_official/16463).

The university shares its sports facilities with the local community. Access is provided to the community and local companies based on a scheduled timetable across two sports complexes. This initiative aims to promote physical fitness and encourage active lifestyles among residents, fostering community engagement and collaboration. By making these facilities available, the university strengthens its relationship with the local population and supports the development of sports and recreational activities in the area. Access is granted to institutions such as School No. 9, the academic lyceum of Tashkent University of Information Technologies, and the residents of the Bodomzor neighborhood, further enhancing community involvement in sports and physical activities
The university provides access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services, including information and education. The medical department offers emergency medical aid, rehabilitation, and comprehensive healthcare services tailored to students’ needs. In addition to these services, the university promotes wellness programs focused on sports and healthy lifestyles. These initiatives aim to educate students about sexual and reproductive health, ensuring they have the necessary information and resources to make informed decisions. By integrating these services into the university’s health programs, we support students in maintaining their overall well-being and fostering a healthy campus environment
The university provides students with access to mental health support through the dedicated efforts of Ms. Shahnoza Sobitova, the Head of the Department of Spiritual and Psychological Education (https://tuit.uz/en/manaviy-va-psixologik-tarbiya-bolimi). She oversees a team that focuses on promoting students’ mental well-being.
In collaboration with psychologists, Ms. Sobitova organizes specialized psychological seminar-training sessions under the slogan "Formula of Dreams and Goals." These sessions are designed to support students in their personal development and mental health. Additionally, engaging creative psychological activities, such as art therapy workshops, are conducted in student dormitories, providing innovative methodologies for self-discovery and diagnosis (https://t.me/tuituz_official/19999).
Furthermore, the psychologists from TUIT and its regional branches have been collaborating to hold these seminars in the Fergana branch for the first time, fostering a supportive environment for students to explore their aspirations and goals while enhancing their mental health and well-being
The smoke-free policy at Tashkent University of Information Technologies named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi (TUIT) aims to create a healthy environment by prohibiting smoking and the use of tobacco and narcotic substances in all forms. Established in 2010 and reviewed in 2019, this policy ensures that all academic, residential, and recreational areas, including transportation facilities, remain smoke-free. The initiative is crucial in protecting the health of students and staff, as exposure to second-hand smoke can lead to serious health issues, such as asthma, respiratory infections, and heart disease.
The responsibility for implementing this policy lies with a dedicated committee consisting of the Rector (Student Affairs) as the chairperson, the Vice Rector as the secretary, Chief Wardens as members, and student representatives. This committee will monitor the campus to maintain a tobacco-free environment. Preventive measures include conducting awareness campaigns, monitoring the use of e-cigarettes, and ensuring that all students and employees agree to the policy upon joining TUIT.
Any violations of this policy are treated as breaches of the institution’s code of conduct and will result in strict disciplinary actions. Complaints can be filed by any member of the campus community, and an inquiry committee will investigate reported violations. Visitors found violating the smoke-free policy will be asked to leave campus, and contractors who repeatedly violate the policy may face contract termination (https://tuit.uz/tuits-smoke-free-policy).
Staff members have access to mental health support through the services of Ms. Sobitova, the university psychologist. She provides counseling and assistance to faculty and staff, addressing their mental health needs and promoting overall well-being within the campus community. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to creating a supportive environment for all employees, ensuring they have the necessary resources for mental health and wellness (https://t.me/tuituz_official/12151).
