This integrated service consolidates emergency hotlines previously operated by multiple ministries, providing a singular point for emergency assistance.
In summary, the launch of the 112 emergency service in Uzbekistan marks a significant improvement in the country’s emergency response framework. While the previous emergency numbers remain operational temporarily, the introduction of a unified service aims to enhance both convenience and efficiency for citizens seeking urgent assistance.
