In Namangan, 15 centenarians were honored and several mothers with newly born babies in a maternity ward were provided with baby sets. Under the said program, the Women`s Council provided the central maternity complexes in Ferghana and Samarkand regions with modern medical equipment. Two schools in Namangan and Quvasoy were provided with desks while the students were given books and stationery.
