The international platform OncoDaily, which unites leading initiatives in the fight against cancer worldwide, has published a rating of "100 Most Influential Women in the Field of Oncology." This list includes the most influential women who shape global health policy through medicine, science, politics, and public activities. The First Lady of Uzbekistan, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the "Zamin" International Public Foundation, Ziroat Mirziyoyeva, also took a worthy place on this prestigious list.
Experts highly appreciated Ziroat Mirziyoyeva's initiatives in the field of pediatric oncology, her work on early detection of diseases, the introduction of modern treatment methods, and increasing the survival rate of children with serious illnesses. His efforts contribute to the development of an effective system of cooperation in the fight against oncological diseases not only in Uzbekistan, but also throughout the world, the rating commentary notes.
According to OncoDaily, in September 2025, within the framework of the UN General Assembly, Ziroat Mirziyoyeva met with representatives of the World Health Organization (WHO) and St. Jude co-chaired an international forum on "Improving the Survival of Children with Cancer and Other Life-Threatening Diseases," held in partnership with the Research Hospital. From this platform, he called on the world community to take prompt and decisive measures in pediatric oncology.
In the activities of the First Lady, the main focus is on creating equal access to medical care. He has prioritized increasing the effectiveness of cancer treatment in children, especially in countries with low survival rates. As a result of Ziroat Mirziyoyeva's initiatives, the national strategy for achieving a 60% survival rate in childhood cancer by 2030 in Uzbekistan's healthcare system has been harmonized with international goals.
According to analysts, its inclusion in the international ranking is a high assessment of the effectiveness of healthcare reforms being implemented in New Uzbekistan, along with personal efforts.
Thanks to Ziroat Mirziyoyeva's initiatives, Uzbekistan began to be recognized as an equal partner with the international community in the field of healthcare. Under his leadership, the "Zamin" Foundation is implementing practical projects in the field of pediatric oncology, rehabilitation, and social support. At the same time, the country has given a strong impetus to state programs aimed at preventing non-communicable diseases, improving medical culture, and promoting a healthy lifestyle among the population.
Thus, Ziroat Mirziyoyeva's recognition as one of the most influential women in the world is not only a personal achievement, but also a high international recognition of the humanistic, life-saving policy being implemented in Uzbekistan.
