Rahmon Opens Autism Center in Dushanbe and Launches Construction of Transplantology Center
In Dushanbe, an Autism Center designed to serve up to 400 patients simultaneously has been put into operation. The facility will employ 200 specialists.
The opening ceremony was attended by Emomali Rahmon and Dushanbe Mayor Rustami Emomali, reports the state news agency Khovar.
The complex, consisting of three buildings (five, six, and seven stories), will not only serve children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Families with children diagnosed with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy (CP), ADHD, or speech and mental development delays will also be able to seek assistance here. The center’s work with children covers the entire journey: from initial examination and early intervention to adolescent support. A separate program is dedicated to parents, offering training and consultations.
In addition to doctors' offices and classrooms, the center includes its own hotel, cafeteria, two swimming pools, and conference halls. Out-of-town families will be able to stay near the rehabilitation facility.
During the opening, a digital innovation was demonstrated—the medical system "E-tib." With its help, patients will be able to schedule remote appointments with doctors, receive electronic prescriptions, avoid in-person queues, and have their medical history stored in a digital record.
On the same day, construction began on the Transplantology Center in the Firdavsi district, on Negmat Karabaev Street. The 15-story building will feature a helipad for emergency patient transport. Inside, nearly 400 rooms will be allocated for laboratories, intensive care units, surgical departments, and an academic department. The facility is expected to be completed in two years.
