Amrillo Inoyatov (uzb: Inoyatov Amrillo cycrillic: ÃÂýþÃÂÃÂþò ÃÂüÃÂøûûþ èþôøõòøàborn 1979 Bukhara, Uzbekistan) is an Uzbekistani plastic surgeon, former Minister at the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan and former Deputy Advisor to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on youth, science, education, healthcare, culture and sports. In 2024, he has been appointed as the Director of the Institute of Health and Strategic Development.
In February 2023, Inoyatov was criticized for remarks he made during a press briefing when a journalist asked about increasing the salaries of medical staff in Uzbekistan. Instead of addressing the issue of wages, he suggested that doctors could be additionally motivated if patients voluntarily gave them small "tips" as a sign of gratitude for special care, even if the doctors did not ask for it.
The statement was widely condemned by the Public Council under the Anti-Corruption Agency, which argued that such suggestions contradicted national anti-corruption policies, could legitimize bribery in healthcare, and risked undermining the status of medical professionals. Media outlets and civil society groups also criticized the remarks as encouraging informal payments instead of systemic salary reforms.
Inoyatov is the Chairman of the editorial board of the journal "World Medicine Journal" since 2020
