History 

Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute was the only pediatric medical Institute in Central Asia back in 1972. The official opening of the Institute took place on September 7, 1972, under the name of the Central Asian Pediatric Medical Institute – SAMPI. The main objective of the Institute was to train highly qualified doctors and pediatricians for Central Asian republics and southern Kazakhstan. The issue of the absence of pediatricians in the region became urgent due to the development of Central Asian republics and the population growth. The high incidence and mortality rates among children and the absence of advanced pediatricians led to the establishment of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute. 

The Institute became an important part of the healthcare of the developing republics and helped to save many children’s lives and reduce incidence and mortality rates in the region. , The number of students reached 800 people by the end of the second school year of the Institute, and a few years later it reached 1,000. Nowadays thousands of students from Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Southern Kazakhstan, and other regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan form the educational community of the Institute. Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute has prepared about 30,000 pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and infectious disease specialists.
