Previously, in the village "Kenagas" of Pap district the population was forced to travel 20 km each time they required specialized medical attention. However, thanks to the initiative of the Hokimiyat of Pap district, the communities of “Kenagas”, “Kushtepa”, “Nayman” and technical assistance received from the EC and UN within the framework of “Enhancement of Living Standards in Ferghana Valley” programme, this distance was substantially decreased with the establishment of the rural medical post “Kenagas”.
