The opening ceremony of the start-up project “Women’s Health Improvement and Rehabilitation Studio” was held at Uzgen International Medical College of Osh State University. The meeting was attended by Erlan Kamalov, Director of Business Park of Osh State University, Özgönbai Stanbayev, Director of Uzgen International Medical College, representatives of Uzgen City Hall and Women’s Council of Uzgen District.

The start-up project under the brand name “Gyn Est (Aesthetic Gynecology)” was initiated by Ergeshova Shirinkan, a student of the said college, and Sulaimanova Gulsana, a lecturer.

The authors of the business idea participated in trainings organized by the Business Park of OshSU and won a grant of 2,000 US dollars (170,000 soms) for the implementation of their start-up project. Equipment and furniture necessary for the project were purchased, management of Uzgen International Medical College of OshSU allocated space in the building, and local women and girls began to be provided with services.

“The uniqueness of this start-up is that our student and mentor proposed a company idea that was pertinent to their line of work, researched the need for a women’s health center in the city of Uzgen, and effectively applied the knowledge and abilities they had gained through business training. Future plans call for the establishment of women’s health facilities in the villages of Myrza-Ake and Kurshab. Business Park of OshSU will continue to organize trainings for young people, undergraduates, postgraduates, and instructors in collaboration with partners like USAID and the Agahan Foundation, and will continue to provide comprehensive support to leading business ideas and start-ups" said Erlan Kamalov, the director of the Business Park of OshMU.
