At the beginning of the twentieth century a hospital was built in Dishan-kala. Its construction was evidence of the new care for the people's health taken by the Khiva Khan. Whereas previously, the people saw only ta-bibs, in Dishan-kala professional doctors treated the sick.
The hospital stretched for many blocks along the Ichan-kala, A famous artist of Khorezm, Abdulla Baltayev, took part in building and decorating it. A majolica ribbon bears the inscription: -The Hospital of Cesarevich Alexey. It shows that the Khiva Khanate maintained some friendly relations with Russia in the early twentieth century.
