Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) is committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through active participation in international collaboration on data gathering, analysis, and measurement. Working alongside global organizations, academic institutions, and research networks, SSMU contributes to the development of reliable data that informs SDG strategies and interventions, particularly in the fields of health, education, and social equity.
Partnerships with International Research Networks
SSMU partners with global research institutions to collect and analyze data relevant to SDG targets, supporting informed decision-making and effective policy implementation: In collaboration with international public health organizations, SSMU participates in research on health indicators such as disease prevalence, vaccination coverage, and healthcare access. This data contributes to global health monitoring initiatives aligned with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). As part of partnerships focused on SDG 4 (Quality Education), SSMU works with universities and NGOs to gather data on education access, retention rates, and gender equity in medical education, contributing to improved educational policies.
Data Collection and Reporting for Regional SDG Indicators
SSMU is actively involved in regional projects that measure SDG progress in Central Asia, providing valuable data on local challenges and solutions: SSMU contributes to regional health surveys, gathering data on critical health issues such as maternal health, infectious disease rates, and nutrition. These surveys help track SDG progress at both the local and national levels. Working with regional partners, SSMU conducts studies on social and economic factors that impact SDG achievement, such as poverty, gender inequality, and healthcare disparities. These insights are shared with government and NGO stakeholders to guide policy.
Collaborative Data Analysis and Knowledge Exchange
To improve data quality and relevance, SSMU collaborates with international experts in data science and SDG monitoring:
Joint Data Analysis Projects: SSMU participates in projects that analyze health and education data across multiple countries, enabling comparative insights that help identify effective SDG interventions.
Conferences and Knowledge Sharing: Faculty and researchers from SSMU regularly attend international SDG conferences and workshops, sharing data findings and learning from global best practices.
Contribution to Global SDG Reporting
As part of its commitment to transparency and accountability, SSMU contributes to international SDG reporting efforts, providing data and analysis that support global tracking: SSMU’s data on health and education is shared with international organizations and contributes to periodic reports on global SDG progress. Research from SSMU on SDG topics is published in international journals, contributing to the global knowledge base on sustainable development.
