Citizens in Uzbekistan enlisting for conscript or contract military service undergo medical screening to determine whether they have used narcotic substances.
The screening is conducted in two stages: first, a urine sample is tested using a rapid test. If the result is positive, a urine or blood sample undergoes further laboratory analysis.
Citizens who test positive or refuse to provide a biological sample do not proceed to the military-medical examination.
The new procedure was state-registered by the Ministry of Justice on September 14. Confidentiality regarding the screening data and results is ensured.
