The construction of medical cluster facilities is being carried out by five companies, both domestic and foreign.
International financial institutions are increasingly interested in collaborating with Arkadag city, with efforts underway to secure grant funds for projects related to advanced technologies, water recycling systems, and renewable energy sources such as solar panels.
