From August 3 to September 2, 2026, mobile medical and preventive care teams operated across Armenia, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, bringing medical consultations, diagnostic services and infectious disease screening to people in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
A network of 22 mobile medical and preventive care complexes operated across the four countries: four in Armenia, ten in the Kyrgyz Republic, six in Tajikistan and two in Uzbekistan. The mobile teams travelled to remote communities, helping people access healthcare services closer to where they live and work.
In Armenia, mobile teams made 31 trips to 26 settlements and conducted 6,977 screenings for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. The testing identified 11 cases with positive hepatitis B results, two with hepatitis C and two with HIV. All people with positive results were referred for confirmatory testing and further medical care.
In the Kyrgyz Republic, ten mobile complexes provided services to 24,127 people, including medical consultations, diagnostic services, rapid testing and hepatitis B vaccination. A total of 16,116 tests were conducted for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis. Positive results were recorded for HIV in 10 people, hepatitis B in 154, hepatitis C in 75 and syphilis in three. People with positive screening results were referred for confirmatory diagnostics and placed under appropriate follow-up. Overall, 4,185 people received hepatitis B vaccination through the mobile programme and vaccination teams.
In Tajikistan, six mobile complexes provided medical services to 9,730 people, exceeding the planned figure. More than 6,000 people were tested for HIV, while 3,499 people were screened for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. The screening identified four HIV-positive results, 30 positive hepatitis B results, 10 positive hepatitis C results and 13 positive syphilis results.
In Uzbekistan, two mobile complexes provided medical services to 4,277 people. A total of 1,377 people were screened for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. Positive results were identified for HIV in two people, hepatitis B in 57 and hepatitis C in 28; no positive syphilis results were recorded. People requiring further examination were referred to specialized healthcare services.
The mobile teams provided more than infectious disease screening alone. Depending on the location, people could also receive consultations with specialists, including therapists and gynecologists, ultrasound examinations and referrals for additional diagnostics or specialized care. In Tajikistan alone, 2,624 referrals were issued for further examinations and medical services.
The programme is helping strengthen the link between people living in remote communities and the healthcare system. By bringing preventive services and early screening directly to underserved areas, mobile clinics make it possible to identify infections at an earlier stage, connect people with confirmatory diagnostics and treatment, and improve access to essential healthcare services.
