tibbiy

Tibbiy is an Uzbek adjective meaning “medical” or “related to medicine and healthcare.” It is used to describe things connected with medical practice, medical science, clinical care, and health services. The term is common in formal discourse as well as everyday language in the health sector.

In Uzbek, tibbiyot denotes the field of medicine, while tibbiy functions as the associated adjective. The word derives from the root tibb (medicine) and the suffix -iy to form adjectives. The term is part of the core medical lexicon and is cognate with similar forms in related Turkic languages, reflecting historical influences from Persian and Arabic.

Tibbiy is widely used in compound terms such as tibbiy xizmatlar (medical services), tibbiy yordam (medical assistance), tibbiy asboblar (medical instruments), and tibbiyot klinikalar (medical clinics). It also appears in institutional names and professional titles, for example tibbiyot fakulteti (faculty of medicine) and tibbiy ta'lim (medical education).

In health policy and media, tibbiy remains a standard descriptor for topics relating to healthcare provision and medical technology. As a general adjective, it helps distinguish medical from non-medical contexts, contributing to precise communication in healthcare, education, and public information.
