Human health and the protection of public well-being are among the highest priorities of the state policy of independent and permanently neutral Turkmenistan. Safeguarding public health, improving citizens' quality of life, and preventing and treating diseases remain key areas of national development. The State Programme «Saglyk», initiated by the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Hero Arkadag, outlines a range of modern measures aimed at protecting public health, improving medical treatment and preventing the spread and development of diseases.

As part of ongoing efforts to advance medical education and provide future specialists with up-to-date educational resources, a new textbook entitled Radiation Diagnostics and Therapy was published in 2026 by the Turkmen State Publishing Service.
