This article provides a source-based analysis of the activities of the healthcare system in the territory of the Turkestan ASSR between 1918 and 1923, examined by provinces. The research is primarily based on archival documents of provincial healthcare departments, statistical reports, and departmental materials. Special attention is paid to the network of medical institutions operating in the Syrdarya, Samarkand, Fergana, Yettisuv, and Turkmen provinces, their material and technical conditions, staffing levels, and the ratio of local and European ethnic personnel. The article also reveals the specific features of the formation of the healthcare system under conditions of civil war, epidemics, and socio-economic crisis. The research findings demonstrate that the healthcare system in the Turkestan ASSR was centralized, yet organized differently depending on the needs of individual provinces.
