Samarkand State Medical University, one of the higher educational institutions in the republic that trains qualified personnel in the field of medicine, was established 95 years ago by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of Uzbekistan No. 80 of May 7, 1930, the Uzbek State Medical Institute (UzSMI) in the city of Samarkand. This was a big event for the population of the Central Asian region, since there was no independent medical higher educational institution in this region.
