This article analyzes the health problems that have arisen among the population in the Aral Sea region as a result of the ecological disaster. Research results show that residents living around the Aral Sea suffer from widespread respiratory, oncological, hepatological, endocrine, and reproductive system diseases. The main causes of these conditions include air pollution, poor-quality drinking water, and contamination of soil and vegetation. The article examines existing problems and proposes comprehensive solutions. It also substantiates the interrelation between ecological and medical factors and emphasizes the need to implement an ecological health care concept.
