This article analyzes the stages and regional differences in the development of medical infrastructure in the regions of the Fergana Valley in 1991-2025. The study utilized a historical-comparative and institutional approach, comparing regulatory documents and open statistical sources. The results show the cycles of modernization, the reorganization of the primary link, and the territorial unevenness of investment flows. The work offers a dynamic model for the historiography of regional healthcare. The article examines the problem of changes in medical infrastructure in the regions of the Fergana Valley during 1991-2025. As a methodology, source analysis, statistical comparison, and periodization methods were combined. The main results highlight the imbalances associated with the transition of the sector from centralization to functional diversification, optimization of the hospital fund, and staff shortages. The study identifies regional criteria for assessing infrastructure. The study explains the dynamics of the formation of medical infrastructure in Andijan, Namangan, and Fergana regions from 1991 to 2025. The methodological basis was chosen as a historical-systemic approach, analysis of the content of reforms and comparative reconstruction by indicators. The results identify infrastructure constraints for the institutional reconstruction of primary healthcare, the growth of specialized centers, and the quality of services. The work provides conceptual conclusions explaining the development of regional healthcare.
