This study examines the socio-economic significance of implementing health insurance, focusing on its impact on public health, financial protection, and economic development. Health insurance reduces out-of-pocket medical expenses, increases access to healthcare services, and promotes social equity. The research analyzes international experiences, regulatory frameworks, and current practices in Uzbekistan. Findings suggest that introducing comprehensive health insurance policies can enhance public health outcomes, reduce financial risks for households, and stimulate sustainable economic growth.
