Our History & Mission

A Legacy of Medical Excellence

Our journey began with a visionary educational reform in 1993, laying the crucial groundwork for what would become a premier medical institution. Officially established in 2003, we have dedicated ourselves to shaping the future of global healthcare.

Established in 2003 as part of the strategy for reforming the education system in the Kyrgyz Republic. Main prerequisite was the need for a structural reform of the Kyrgyz education system and increasing the competitiveness of domestic universities.
