The Uzbek people are a child-loving people, therefore there is a high demand for pediatricians in the country.

  Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute (TashPMI) is a state higher educational institution that implements basic and professional higher education programs, as well as educational, methodological, and scientific activities in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute was established in 1972 and is a leading institution in the field of "Pediatric Work."

Institute history

 The main task of the institute was to train highly qualified pediatricians for the republics of Central Asia and Southern Kazakhstan. The reason for this was the large number of children in the population of the Central Asian republics, the shortage of pediatricians in the region, the high morbidity and mortality rates among children, and the shortage of leading scientists in the field of pediatrics.

  The Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute, considered the only one in Central Asia, was established in 1972 under the name of the Central Asian Pediatric Medical Institute during the period of the former Soviet Union. The original of the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Union on the opening of the institute reads: "On the establishment of the Central Asian Medical Pediatric Institute in Tashkent: in 1972, the Central Asian Medical Pediatric Institute was established in Tashkent on the basis of the Pediatric Faculties of the Tashkent and Andijan Medical Institutes of the Union Ministry of Health." Institut uchun, dastlab Toshkent shahridagi 5- yuqumli kasalliklar kasalxonasi, hozirgi ToshPTI yotoqxonasi va kattalar klinikasi joylashgan bino ajratildi. Initially, a building was allocated for the institute, where the 5th Infectious Diseases Hospital in Tashkent, the current dormitory of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute, and the adult clinic were located. The official opening of the institute took place on September 7, 1972, and its name was changed to the Central Asian Pediatric Medical Institute - SAMPI.

  The institute was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health of the former Soviet Union until 1988, when it was transferred to the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan. From then on, the admission of students from neighboring republics was suspended. From April 28, 1989, the Central Asian Medical Pediatric Institute was renamed Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute (TashPMI) in accordance with Order No. 357 of the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan.

  Over the past period, the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute has trained about 30,000 doctors, including pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and pediatric infectious disease specialists. In colloquial speech, not all of them are in a super contract, on the contrary, 1,065 graduates graduated from the institute with honors.

  The institute has 39 departments and departments. The teaching staff of the institute includes 516 employees, of whom 76 are doctors and professors, 201 are candidates and associate professors.

  Currently, 40 citizens of the CIS and 45 foreign countries study at the institute.

  With the increase in the number of students at the institute, construction was accelerated, educational buildings, clinical bases, and dormitories were expanded: in 1976-1978, 5 dormitories for 1860 places were put into operation, in 1976, a new three-story modern morphological building was built on the territory of the institute, in 1981, a new educational and medical building - SAMPI school, in 1985, a new children's clinic, and in 1990, a four-story educational and administrative building was put into operation.
