Samarkand State Medical University was founded by the decision of the Government of the Republic 90 years ago, in the distant 1930 year. During its glorious history, our university has passed a long way of becoming one of the leading medical universities not only in Uzbekistan, but also in the entire Central Asian region.In 1930, by the Decree of the Council of People’s Commissars of Uzbekistan No. 80 dated May 7, 1930, the State Uzbek Medical Institute (SUMI) was founded in the city of Samarkand. This was a big event for the population of the Central Asian region, as there was no independent medical higher education institution in this region.

  The Samarkand State Medical Institute (since April 2022 – the University) received a special development after the republic achieved independence. In 1997, the country adopted the “National Training Program”, and in 1998, the state program for health care reform, which resulted in the creation of the Faculty of Higher Nursing in 1999. In 2001, the department was opened, and since 2005, the Faculty of Medical Pedagogy, and in subsequent years the faculties of dentistry, medical prophylactics, medical biology, pharmacy, and since 2020, students are studying in the new direction of “Traditional Medicine”.

Currently, training at the University is carried out at 9 faculties in 9 areas of bachelor’s degree:
