Articles submitted for publication should be clearly structured, relevant, contain scientific novelty, include the statement of objectives (problems), description of methodology and main research results obtained by the author(s), as well as conclusions; and comply with the journal’s formatting requirements.
7. All authors must comply with the Declaration of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers on “Ethical Principles of Scientific Publications.”

Scientific research projects involving human subjects must comply with ethical standards developed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association — Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects and Animals, amended in 2000 (https://www.wma.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/DoH-Oct2000.pdf). All participants in the study must provide written informed consent to participate; the protocol number of the ethics committee meeting that approved the study must be indicated.

Abstract
Introduction. In the Global strategy on human resources for health: Workforce 2030, the WHO called to promote decent working conditions of health care workers (HCWs) in all settings. The Central Asian countries (CACs) are low and middle income countries with economies passed transition and implemented health care reforms that touched HCWs and occupational health and safety (OHS) at large.

The aim of the present article is to highlight some challenges in OHS regulation and to give some latest studies on biological health risks of HCWs in CACs.

Materials and methods. There were 18 journal articles in Russian and 3 journal articles in English published at earliest in 2004; 3 dissertations, 10 national statistical sources and profiles, and 5 books were reviewed to present in the article.

Results. OHS management system in CACs is built on the principles of responding to insurance cases and not their prevention. Most labor law standards have declarative nature since many employers ignore labor protection requirements.

There is no study carried out since 2000 on working conditions, physical and chemical health risks or of effects of working conditions, mental and physical load of HCWs on their health. A few studies found on biological risks of infection by viral hepatitis, HIV and tuberculosis for HCWs in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The latest studies showed high prevalence of viral hepatitis B, C and G and HIV-infection in HCWs in Kyrgyzstan and much lower rates in Kazakhstan.

Conclusions. The traditional approach in OHS used in soviet time has proven to be insufficient in the CACs with developing market economy. OHS and health of HCWs in Central Asia is insufficiently studied. The available data indicate a low level of attention to health of HCWs. Serious studies on OHS in health care settings in this region are needed.

Key words: health care workers, occupational health and safety, viral hepatitis B, C and G, Central Asia.
