as in the rest of the world, medical workers of
Uzbekistan have shown courage and self-sacrifice in
the fight against the dangerous virus. It is thanks toweaknesses in the field of social protection of the

weaknesses of the labor market, but also revealed gaps
in the system of social protection of the population,
especially among migrants and informal workers."
Working conditions during a pandemic require a
new look at labor relations - a relationship based on
an agreement between an employee and an employer
on the employee's personal performance of a labor
function (work by position, profession or specialty
or a specific type of work entrusted to him) for
wages, on relations based on an agreement between
the employee and the employer on the employee's
personal performance of the labor function (work by
position, profession or specialty, or a specific type of
work entrusted to him) for wages.In recent years, Uzbekistan has been implementing
a number of practical measures to develop the health
care system. Measures are being taken to create the
necessary conditions for more than 70,000 doctors
and numerous nurses working in this area and to
ensure decent pay for their work. This article offers
a fresh look at concepts such as "labor", "personnel
or employee", "labor relations", "job or functional
responsibilities" and also reveals their meaning in the
management system of health care institutions.
