From September 16 to 18, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) office in Turkmenistan conducted a professional training in chemotherapy for female cancer treatment, aiming to strengthen the national healthcare capacity.
The workshop brought together oncogynecologists and chemotherapy specialists from Ashgabat and all velayats of the country.
Participants explored advanced treatment methods for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and other types of malignancies.
The training was led by Dr. Bruce Oliver Hoff, an American oncologist and UNFPA international consultant with over 10 years of clinical experience. He applies a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach using the latest medical technologies.
This initiative is part of UNFPA’s long-standing cooperation with the Government of Turkmenistan, focused on enhancing reproductive healthcare services and building medical workforce capacity.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
