By the middle of the XIX century, the Central Asian khanates fell into a serious socio-economic crisis due to mutual wars and the weakness of the central government. As a result, during the years 1864-1895, the land of Turkestan became a colony of the Russian Empire. The Bukhara Emirate and the Khiva Khanate lost their large territories and became vassals of the Russian Empire, while the Kokan Khanate was completely abolished and Fergana Province was established in its place. Along with Russian officials and soldiers, Russian doctors also entered the country. This article examines the entry of Russian doctors into the Fergana region, the activities of Russian medical institutions, and the attitude of the local population to modern medicine.
