No, it's a very strange thing to say.

'The number of nurses in the region decreased from 938 per 100 000 population in 1990 to 843 per 100 000 in 2012, which was still slightly higher than the EU average (836 per 100 000). Uzbekistan and Belarus have retained a markedly higher number of nurses (1129 and 1062 per 100 000 population respectively), while Georgia, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan have the lowest densities of nurses in the region (314, 459 and 400 per 100 000 population respectively). Azerbaijan, the Republic of Moldova and Turkmenistan have seen large decreases in nursing staff in the 1990s and 2000s (Fig. 5.2).'
But I guess since you personally haven't seen an Uzbek nurse (and how would you know if you had?), then they don't exist. Bizarre reasoning.
