:Pandemics have always influenced the course of human civilization, but in the 21st century their impact is stronger than ever due to globalization, rapid urbanization, and increased human mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how unprepared the world remains for emerging infectious diseases, despite modern advances in medicine. Affecting over 760 million people and causing more than 6.8 million deaths worldwide (WHO, 2023), COVID-19 has revealed the weaknesses of healthcare systems, economies, and societies. This article discusses the historical background of pandemics, analyzes global and regional statistics, examines Uzbekistan’s experience, and explores future preparedness strategies. Both international and Uzbek academic sources are used to highlight the necessity of combining global knowledge with national practices.
